Description: Dionysus with Satyr Death of Orpheus Krater Vase Ancient Greek Pottery Museum Copy Our vase is based on the famous Attic red-figure bell krater (mixing bowl for wine and water) known as «The death of Orpheus», attributed to the Curti Painter, Greek (440 - 430 BCE), which is exhibited in the Harvard Art Museums.SIDE A: The death of Orpheus. The three figures are set in an incised rock landscape atop a meander frieze. Left: one of the Thracian maenads wears a chlamys over a chiton, with her hair bound by a sphendone. She stabs Orpheus with a long spear. Center: Orpheus, nude with a folded mantle around his shoulders and left arm. He moves to avoid the woman’s spear, stretching out his right leg and supporting himself with his left hand. He holds his lyre above his head with his right arm. Right: a second Thracian maenad, wearing a peplos, with her hair also bound by a sphendone. Her contorted pose is awkwardly rendered, with her left arm and hand crossing her body holding a Thracian knife, and her right hand grasping the lyre. The strings of the lyre are painted in black paint added over the black background.SIDE B: Dionysus with a satyr and a maenad. The satyr plays a flute, and wears a wreath on his head. The Maenad plays a drum. Movement is indicated by her pose and the flowing skirt of her chiton, suggesting that she might be dancing. Her hair is encircled with a wreath made of two snakes. In the center, Dionysus stands wearing a himation over a chiton. He is bearded, and his long hair is encircled by an ivy wreath. He holds an ivy staff in his right hand and pours wine from a kantharos with his left hand.
