Two silver platters from the Mildenhall treasure
Belonging to Eutherios

The pair of small dishes or platters with Bacchic scenes are closely related in style and subject to the Great Dish itself. Both show maenads, female followers of Bacchus, dancing and playing musical instruments, in one case accompanied by the god Pan and in the other by a young satyr.

The Greek name Eutherios is scratched lightly on the underside of each dish within the footring. It is written in the genitive (possessive) case, which suggests that he was once the owner of the plate.

Diameter: 18.8 cm
Diameter: 18.5 cm

There are two main themes, Doc. As you can see here, one of these is Bacchus.
