Part of same vase as 86.AE.208. Dionysiac scene: Maenads flanking an image (xoanon) of Dionysos. This fragment preserves the head, right shoulder, and part of the right arm of a maenad. She wears a chiton and has light-colored hair. Her head and hair are thrown back as if in a pose of Bacchic ecstasy. The figural decoration is set in a panel framed by a tongue pattern on the shoulder below the junction with the neck, and a double row of black ivy leaves between black lines at the sides. Interior of fragment: body, black; shoulder, plain.
