Attic Red-Figure Amphora Fragment

Preserved is a satyr player armed as a peltast, striding to the right. Only the lower body and left arm remain. He wears the distinctive shorts of an actor, complete with phallus. His feet are bare and he has a fillet on the left ankle. The inner face of the shield has an X-shaped porpax, tasseled antilabe, and decorative ribbon tied to the straps. The shield has a plastic emblem in the form of a winged phallos, and a panther skin apron. The tip of a weapon held in the satyr's right hand (now lost), is visible at the lower left.
