Attic Red-Figure Stamnos

The stamnos is complete, restored from fragments. On Side A, led by a satyr playing the double aulos, Hermes and Dionysos walk to the right on either side of a bearded man, perhaps Hephaistos. Both Hermes and Dionysos look back over their shoulders. All three carry drinking cups; Dionysos holds an ivy tendril in his upraised left hand and Hermes carries the caduceus in his left. On Side B Herakles walks to the right between two youths. The foremost youth plays a lyre, holding a plectron in his right hand. Herakles holds his club over his left shoulder and carries a drinking cup in his right hand. He looks back at the youth behind him who also carries a drinking cup. All three are nude except for drapery around their shoulders.

There is a groundline and a tongue pattern around the shoulder of the vessel.
