Komast (reveler) and dancing dwarf
This representation is noteworthy for the characterization of the two figures. The tall komast advances deliberately, playing the barbitos, a form of lyre. His head is wreathed, his cloak and a chous are slung over one shoulder, and he wears soft, high boots. The dwarf before him presents a considerable contrast with his jerky movements, nudity, pugnacious expression, and straggly beard.
