A seated priestess, head covered, unveils a basket supplied by a female servant at stage left. Another woman, wearing a wreath, pours liquid into a bowl. The priestess dips a laurel branch into the bowl. Silenus plays a lyre. A satyr plays a pan flute while a nymph feeds a goat. The animals may be present to remind the initiate of her connection to the natural world (a theme common to many ancient riuuals). The goddess of wind and morning air, Aura, catches wind in her mantle.
