Terracotta column-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water)
Obverse, satyr pursing maenad
Reverse, satyr with keras (drinking horn)
By the second quarter of the fifth century, the column-krater was quite an old-fashioned shape, yet it found favor with the Pig Painter and his Mannerist colleagues. Note the survival of black-figure ornament on the front of the neck.
