The Eleusinian and Bacchic Mysteries

1. Top panel: A group of four figures processing toward a terminal bust (herm) of Bacchus. From left to right, a woman carries a bucket (situla) and a bowl; another woman follows; a man in a loincloth offers a bunch of grapes to the bust; and a woman stands at the far right holding a vessel.
2. Middle panel: Two female figures, likely maenads, depicted in ecstatic motion against a background representing a stone relief fragment. The figure on the left has her head thrown back and holds a thyrsus adorned with ribbons. The figure on the right blows into a long horn.
3. Bottom panel: Three figures involved in ritual. On the left, a woman tends to a low altar or basket overflowing with fruit and grapes. In the center, a woman stands holding a long thyrsus and a round percussion instrument (tympanum). On the right, a satyr with goat-like legs plays a double pipe (aulos).
