A nude male with a spear reclines on a rock. Hanging in the background is a wreath. On the other side, Eros, the god of love, carries a fillet (hair band), possibly to give to the seated man. Two-handled cups of this shape were strongly associated with Dionysus, the god of wine, and were especially popular in the Greek region of Boeotia.
