Euthymides, Kleophrades Painter
The J. Paul Getty Museum

Neck fragment: maenad and satyr. On the right is preserved the balding head of a satyr facing left. Before him, in the center, remains the upper edge of an object, possibly a krotalon or a drinking horn. On the left, is preserved the back of the head of a maenad facing left, in front of the satyr. Both figures have wreaths around their heads. It is not clear whether the satyr pursues the maenad.
Addorsed palmette and lotus chain on the protruding upper frieze of the neck. Interior black.
