Wall fragment. Max. dim. 0.032. Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 418, cat. no. KL 64.

Warrior (most of head with pilos and left shoulder) to left, the shaft of a spear belonging to his opponent crossing his face. Relief contour. Dilute glaze: lines on pilos. White: pilos.

For the white pilos, there is a good parallel on Tübingen S/10 1568 i = E 162, a fragmentary loutrophoros by the Kleophon Painter (ARV2 1147, 55; Addenda 335; Matheson, p. 418, cat. no. KL 62). Böhr (CVA, Tübingen 4 [Deutschland 52], p. 27) suggests that the use of white indicates a pilos made of bronze, the white presumably indicating the gleaming surface. This is an attractive idea but may not be correct, since a young rider on another loutrophoros fragment in Tübingen wears a white petasos, a hat that surely was not made of metal (S/10 1649 = E 168: CVA, pl. 7 [2524]:5).

Manner of the Kleophon Painter (ARV1 788, 12); the Kleophon Painter (ARV2 1147, 57).
