The bearded Silenus with no tail is depicted in the typical "knielauf position" facing right: with his right hand he holds a jug, with his left a kantharos for drinking. Refined execution with traces of globular elements. Hatched frame. In the category of the so called "Robust style". Fragmentary edge with missing part. Wear marks.
