This Attic red-figure style Oinochoe, a single-handed jug,
was used as a pouring vessel, often for wine. It is dated 480 BC and shows the winged god of love Eros binding his sandals, in the middle the half-naked Pompe (Greek parade, procession, procession), an allegory of the ecstatic, lascivious lift with which the seated god of wine Dionysos moves around. In the hand of the deity is the Thyrsos, a staff with tufts of ivy, a sign of Dionysos and his followers of silen, satyrs and nymphs. The lower part of the jug shows a meandering pattern. Hand-painted replica reduction.
The terracotta original in the METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART has a size of 23.5 cm and a width of 17.3 cm and is exhibited under inventory number 25,190.
A seal on the handle of the replica bears the inscription "MUSEUM COPY", on the back "HAND MADE IN GREECE".
