Black-Figure Greek Amphora with Satyrs and Dionysos

A black-figure amphora with two handles and a banded foot shows three dark silhouetted figures against reddish clay: a seated figure at left, a robed bearded figure at center, and a standing figure at right. Palmette and scroll ornament decorates the neck, and horizontal bands of patterns frame the body.
