The base and foot are missing from this stamnos. The rim is decorated with and egg pattern with dots and the shoulder has a tongue pattern. Under handles are column kraters wreathed with ivy. Above handle B/A is a bird flying to the left. Side A: Return of Hephaistos. Two ithyphallic mules, or perhaps donkeys, stand facing right. Behind each is a god. At left, Hephaistos, bearded and wreathed holds a kylix in his left hand and carries an animal over his right shoulder. At right, Dionysos, also bearded and wreathed, moves to the right but looks back, holding a vine with bundles of grapes rendered with added clay, and a kantharos. Side B: Satyrs and maenads. A wreathed satyr facing left, plays double pipes. A maenad wearing nebris over her chiton moves left, looking back. She holds a krotala in her right hand (left not extant). Another satyr rushes to the right, pursuing fleeing maenad, who looks back. There is a thyrsus between them.
