Satyr playing an aulos wears a<br />
deer skin – he is ithyphallic.<br />

of orgasm – her head thrown<br />
back, the twist on the thyrsos and<br />
the foot breaking out of the<br />
border. Her hair is black and<br />
curly.<br />
Maenad on the left is blond<br />
haired (dilute slip) and trips along<br />
lightly – a post orgasmic glow?
