The vessel depicts a mythical symposium, not a human one, in which the hero Herakles and the god Hermes recline on pillows outdoors as they shake hands. The grapevine growing around them hints at the presence of Dionysos, the god of wine. The meat they are about to consume occupies the foreground. On the other side, the two heroes are also shown resting on pillows, but instead of clasping hands, Herakles gives to Hermes a cornucopia filled with fruits, cakes, and nuts. If we imaginatively position this vessel within a symposium, the god and hero would seem to join in the human revelry, coming together in a moment of ritual celebration.\n</p>","remarks":"MED_22_T2-1_CLA-Day 1 Cataloguing "},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"From an unknown date to 1964, with Dr. Herbert Cahn, Basel; sold in 1964 to André Emmerich, New York; sold in 1964 to Dr. Paul Vignos, Ohio, USA; sold at auction on November 7, 2011, lot 578 to an anonymous owner; sold again in April 25, 2012, lot 11, to Ariadne Galleries, NY; purchased by the Museum in 2012.","remarks":null}],"datebegin":-495,"sortnumber":"2012   91","published_date":"2026-02-11 13:24:44.356520","objectid":84993,"dimensions":"h. 25.4 cm, diam. rim 28.4 cm, width with handles 38.3 cm, diam. foot 18.8 cm (10 x 11 3/16 x 15 1/16 x 7 3/8 in.)","on_view":true}
