Kyathos with Dionysos and Eyes
A kyathos could be used as a dipper to serve wine out of a krater or it could have perhaps also been used as a drinking cup. Dionysos and a satyr are surrounded by grape vines and flanked by two large eyes. There is a siren in profile on either side of the high looping handle.
