The child is represented with white skin and wearing a wreath. It is the 5th century BCE archetype of a happy marital union between mortals. The sacred wedding of Dionysos and Ariadne is portrayed on the krater. Telephos, the wounded Mysian king, is seated on the altar in the palace at Mycenae with a dagger in his left hand and the infant Orestes in the other.
