Revel of Dionysos and Ariadne. Dionysos (youthful, long wavy hair, taenia in bow over ears, radiated stephane, mantle hanging from left shoulder and twisted around right leg) staggers to right, his head (in three-quarter face) thrown back as if he were singing; his left arm, holding a chelys, hangs at his side; his left is passed round the neck of Ariadne, who supports him with her right around his waist. She looks back at him, holding up a tympanon on her left, decorated in the center with a star. She wears a long chiton, a bordered himation which is kept up by the left arm, and a jacket open down the front and embroidered with rosettes and a border of spirals; her hair is looped up with a purple fillet, and she wears a radiated stephane, earrings, bracelets, and a necklace. On the left Eros flies behind them, his head thrown back as if he were singing, and striking with his right on an uplifted tympanon. He is represented as a young boy, with long wavy hair confined with a fillet. On the right a sprig of laurel springs from the ground. The feet of the figure rest on no ground-line.
The original item is located in British Museum. It was Hand made in Greece, diameter is approximately 8 inches. Our clay items are Hand painted and not fastly made, nor are they cheaply made of substitute materials such as resin. We stick to the materials and methods used by ancient Greeks and use only top quality ceramics and paints. Do not expect "perfection" as if these clay vases was not mass produced from a machine like many are, but by hand.(56)
