Image of a vase painting Dionysos leading Hephaistos back to Olympus. Hephaistos is depicted riding a donkey and, unusually, with severely shrunken and deformed feet. He is facing towards the left. Dionysos stands before him facing to the right, cloaked in a panther-skin and holding a cup of wine. On the far right of the image, a dancing maenad follows behind, with a coiling serpent in her hands.
