The white is abundantly employed to depict the skin of the woman and young Eros and a few selected details. Above Dionysus and Ariadne is a flying winged Eros offering a dish with cakes and a wine jar, an oinochoe with the three-foiled mouth, to celebrate the initiation of Ariadne to the Dionysian circle. All participants wear wreaths, except for Ariadne who holds one in her hand (probably, just received from the god). Behind Dionysus, two figures advancing in a procession are depicted: a bearded Silenus playing the auloi (the double flute) and a maenad clad in a long sleeveless chiton, also with her head covered by a sakkos both her arms are lifted as if she plays the krotala (not depicted as the added paint is lost). Behind her, a young, tall, and athletically muscular Pan (identified by his tail and horns) moving in the opposite direction but turning his head toward the center and raising his arm in a greeting gesture.
She is wearing bracelets her hair is arranged with a cap, the sakkos. Her upper torso is bare, and a himation with multiple soft folds covers her hips and legs. The god is offering a drinking cup, a kantharos, to a young woman seated in front of him, most probably, his consort Ariadne. On side A, six figures are represented, among them Dionysus, nude, with long locks over his shoulders, a leaning thyrsos on the side and a folded cloak overlapping his left thigh. The bell- krater has an egg-and-dart pattern on the rim, a stylized leave wreath below it, palmettes and egg-and-dart pattern at the handles, and a Greek key ornament on the lower part of the body to serve as the ground line for the human figures.
