On the lid, the death of Pentheus (?). On a flowery hillside, indicated by rosettes and delicately engraved lines, Dionysos, a youthful figure with right hand on hip and left holding upright a thyrsos, is seated to right on a mantle; he wears high laced buskins and a radiated fillet; he turns to left towards a Maenad, who moves towards him, placing her left hand on his shoulder, and, from the gesture of her right, addressing him; she wears a long chiton with apoptygma, a sphendone, and jewellery. Beside Dionysos, on the right, a Maenad is seated playing on a chelys; she wears a long chiton, himation, and jewellery and a sphendone. Before her, on right, dance two Maenads in opposite directions, their heads thrown back, hair and drapery flying; each holds in her left one leg of a fawn, which they are tearing in two between them. Next on right is a Maenad seated to right, but looking round to left, playing on a tambourine; she is dressed like the other seated Maenad. Next on right is Agave (?), dancing to right, with head thrown back, swinging over her left shoulder the figure of a boy, which she holds with her left hand by the right ankle. The boy, Pentheus (?), is nude, but wears a bracelet on his right wrist; his arms hang helplessly downwards. Last comes a Maenad dancing to left, looking down with arms extended on each side, holding a thyrsos in her right hand; her hair is knotted behind with a fillet. All the dancing Maenads wear a long chiton with a girdle, which is passed over the shoulders and under the arms.
