Silver wine strainer decorated with a figure and foliate border. There is a full-length young male figure (identified as Dionysus) with a cup raised in his proper left hand. His legs are around a circular strainer with a rectangular border suggestive of a barrel. A grapevine in relief surrounds the strainer. The central strainer is domed with evenly spaced round holes.
