A maenad, in Ionic chiton and with a leopard-skin hanging from her shoulders, playing castanets as she runs to left with head turned back. She wears a red fillet and an ear-disk. Two long tresses escape from the mass of hair falling on her shoulder. Her dress is embroidered with crosses. The spots on the leopard-skin are indicated by pairs of small quirks. In the field the signature of the potter Chachrylion, ΧΑΧΡΥΛΙΟΝ ΕΠΟΙΕΣΕΝ. By the Hermaios painter, like no. 10 above (Boston 03.844). The cup was found with two others decorated by the same painter, but signed by Hermaios (Att. V., nos. 2 and 4). Drawn with the same delicate relief lines. The treatment of the edges of the chiton in scallops, single, double, and triple, occurs in most of his works. About 520-510 B.C.1S. B.
