Doubled-headed red-figured kantharos (drinking cup) Greek, made in Athens, about 470BC. The moulded heads of a satyr and of a woman are joined back to back on this vessel. Drinking from it, the (male) symposiast would have found himself confronted with two different images that represent opposites of himself.
