Attic Red-Figure Dimidiated Rhyton

Red-figure about 450–425 B.C.
Half of this rhyton is molded in the shape of a ram's head; the other side is that of a donkey. A cymation band separates the animal heads from the figure decoration that adorns the incompletely preserved mouth. A maenad runs to the left, pursued by a satyr, of whom only one leg and the tail remain.
