The black-figured tondo features a nude satyr crowned with a wreath, running to the right but looking back. He carries a wineskin over his shoulder with one hand and a rhyton in the other. Each side of the red-figured exterior depicts a nude athlete, one holding jumping weights, between eyes. One side has two inscriptions, reading: "Kalos" and "Cha[i]re" between the eyes and brows.

The red-figure technique was invented in Athens circa 530 B.C. A small number of vases produced during the last quarter of the 6th century B.C. employ both the older black-figure technique together with the new red-figure. For such vases Beazley coined the term "bilingual" (see p. 18 in B. Cohen, The Colors of Clay, Special Techniques in Athenian Vases).
