Kyathos with Dionysos and Eyes

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

<p>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.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/48.220' rel='external'>Kyathos with Dionysos and Eyes</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
