The body decorated with the Dionysian thiase: an elderly Dionysus is seated on a throne, surrounded by a Silenus riding a donkey, a satyr and a maenad. The scene is framed by branches of vines.
On the opposite side, the Dionysian frieze continues with Ariadne seated on a stool. In the central medallion (tondo), a naked athlete runs to the right, a cloak wrapped around his outstretched arm.
Scattered integral and reconstructive restorations, mainly along the fracture lines.
