On the left of the scene, the Thracian king Lycurgus is depicted wearing the Thracian garment: a short chiton, zeira (woolen coat), endromides (high leather boots), and a wreath of ivy leaves. Being in the state of frenzy, he is about to attack his son Dryas who seats on the altar and begs for his life. Traces of blood are visible on the altar. Between the two men, Lycurgus’ wife, who is also Dryas’ mother, is depicted kneeling and pulling her hair as a sign of despair. To the right, God Dionysus with a Maenad, and a Satyr, who plays a flute, are watching the incident. Dionysus holds a vineyard with his right hand, which extends to Lycurgus. His stance indicates that Lycurgus is under the influence of divine frenzy, killing his son because he thought he was a vineyard.
