The column krater takes its name from the column-like struts supporting the handles and rim.Description
Two satyr-maenad pairs rush across this vase, similar but not identical to one another. The leading satyr is balding and infibulated, the trailing one more hirsute; the leading maenad carries a thyrsos, the trailing one two torches. On the reverse, a stock scene appears, with three youths standing, as if in conversation.- ?-1924Ludwig Pollak, Rome, Italy, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art1924-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
