The body of this kantharos is rendered in a very sculptural way, showing the head of a bearded satyr on one side and a female head on the other.
Another vessel attributed to the Spetia class is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, inv. no. 27.122.9. This example is also in the shape of a satyr's head and a female head, with minor differences in the treatment of the satyr's beard and with the addition of a spout below the woman's chin, suggesting that the vase was used for libations. The red-figured decoration of the rim, also similar to our example, has been attributed to Aison, a follower of Polygnotos, cf. G. M. A. Richter, Red-Figured Athenian Vases in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vol. 1 and 2, New Haven, 1936, p. 186, pl. 151.
