FROM THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO’S CATALOG

This vase depicts a woman wearing a chiton, a himation and a white sakkos (hat) sitting on an elaborate four-tier rock, holding a phiale (dish) out in her right hand and a large bunch of grapes back in her left. By her legs is a large and elaborate tambourine; to the far right is an elaborate sprouting floral.
