A large chous on a ring foot, with wide resting-surface, and having a ribbed handle and broad trefoil lip. It is decorated with a symposium scene showing four young men. The central figure reclines on a deeply-padded kline, a drape covering his legs and is right arm extended. He is flanked by two figures, naked apart from a himation flung over one shoulder, who move towards him carrying torches: one also has a lyre. On the far left is a seated youth holding a thyrsos. A band of ovolo forms the ground-line.

As no satyrs or maenads are shown, the thyrsos indicates that this could be a Dionysiac scene enacted on an evening during the Anthesteria wine festival. On the second and most important day of the celebration, the new vintage was blessed before Dionysus and everyone brought in their own wine and drank from their own chous.
