Title:   Red Figure Skyphos: Attic Type
Category:   Pottery
Description:   Preserved are: the bottom and one side, with one handle. Attic type; slight out-turn at rim.
Two cloaked figures, facing, the one at the right bearded and holding a strigil in his extended right hand. A trace only of the figured decoration on the other side. Handle ornament, palmette with volutes. No relief contour.
Dull glaze, somewhat worn, especially on handle. Resting surface and space inside reserved; three circles and dot at center.
For the date, cf. P 10561 (Hesperia 18 (1949), pl. 85:20) where the handle ornament is still painted in red figure, not simply drawn in black, as here. The shape there too may be slightly earlier.
ADDENDA Later than 400 B.C. [JDB, Sept. 1955].
