Interior: a Maenad running to the right, while looking back with her right arm outstretched behind her. She wears a chiton; a spotted panther skin is draped over her shoulders, its paws knotted at her neck. In her left hand she holds a thyrsos (with added red) at waist level. A tondo border is visible to the far left. The start of the stem on the underside is preserved.
