Modelled vessel of attic manufacture, or "Askos", decorated in red figure in the form of the mule of Dionysos with a raised penis; dated to about 500 BC. It carries on its back a cup (kantharos), for wine instead of a rider, who in the Dionysiac procession is represented by Hephaistos. In the area beneath the belly a satyr kneels between the legs of the animal. - Archaeological Museum "Pietro Griffo" of Agrigento - Sicily, Italy
