Kyathos with Dionysos and Eyes

Black-figure 6256 · late 6th-early 5th century BCE (Archaic-early Classical)

A kyathos could be used as a dipper to serve wine out of a krater or it could have perhaps also been used as a drinking cup. Dionysos and a satyr are surrounded by grape vines and flanked by two large eyes. There is a siren in profile on either side of the high looping handle.For the latest information about this object, Kyathos with Dionysos and Eyes, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.
