In the center of the scene, God Dionysus lies down on a couch covered with a panther's skin. He has long hair. He wears a taenia (band) and a myrtle-wreath on his head. The himation covers the lower part of his body. He holds a thyrsus (stick that ends in a pinecone with ivy and vine leaves) in his left hand and a kylix in his right, as if about to throw the kottabos. Kottabos was a game of skills played by the ancient Greeks during the symposia at night. The goal was to hit a target shooting wine from one's mouth or by hand with a shallow vessel. In front of Dionysus, there is a small tripod table, with a situla (bucket-shaped vessel) and two fruit on it. In front of the table, there is a basket with fruit and a stand which was used for the game. Two Maenads with long richly decorated chitons and jewels are standing to the right and to the left of Dionysus. One holds a tall censer and the other a tympanon. To the right, a Satyr is mixing in a krater wine with water which he pours from an askos (wineskin).
