DESCRIPTION
Side A: Heracles and the hound Cerberus (see other image).
Side B: Dionysus stands holding a fruiting grapevine in one hand and a wine cup (krater) in the other. He is accompanied by his wife Ariadne (or perhaps a Maenad) holding an oinochoe jug and three Satyrs carrying a wine-skin, lyre and fillets.
This is a montage of several photos of the vase.
