Terracotta bell-krater (vase for mixing wine and water)

Terracotta bell-krater (vase for mixing wine and water). Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: H. 13 3/8 in. (34 cm)
diameter  14 in. (35.6 cm). Date: ca. 390-380 B.C..
Obverse, satyrs and maenads
Reverse, three youths
The gentrification of the followers of Dionysos on this vase is worth noting. Whereas vases of the late sixth and the first half of the fifth centuries B.C. emphasized the irrational and animal energies of satyrs and maenads, by the turn of the fifth to the fourth century, these figures had become quite sedate.
