Wall fragment with start of rim. Narrow reserved line on inside. Glaze misfired a little on outside. Max. dim. 0.097. P. E. Corbett, Hesperia 18, 1949, pl. 80:4; Schwarz, Triptolemos, p. 51, cat. no. V 123. Hayashi, Triptolemosbildes, p. 161, cat. no. 125.

Triptolemos (top of wreathed head, right hand) in three-quarter view to right. At the far left, start of another figure or perhaps part of the wing of the throne, more likely the latter. Above head:

On rim, olive spray with fruit. Relief contour. Dilute glaze: hair. White: all fruit; inscription (mostly flaked).

For the subject, cf. 229. From the high position of Triptolemos' head, Corbett (Hesperia 18, 1949, pp. 310--311) suggested that his winged throne was off the ground. The manner in which the olive leaves on the rim meet indicates this is the center of this side; thus, Triptolemos was probably flanked by Demeter and Persephone.

Close to the Talos Painter, if not by him. Compare the namepiece, Ruvo, Jatta 1501 (ARV2 1338, 1; Paralip. 481, 1; Addenda 366); New York, M.M.A. 12.229.15 for the wreath and its berries (ARV2 1339, 2); and Würzburg H 5708 (ARV2 1339, ---, 5; Addenda 367), the last near him.
