ΤΙΤΛΟΣ:   Σκύφος του Ζωγράφου του Θησέα με παράσταση εφεδρισμού 500 π.Χ. περίπου
Category:   Pottery
Description:   Mended from many fragments. The foot and the lower part of the vase, part of the handle, and many small other fragments missing. On either side, possibly the game of ΕΦΕΔΡΙΣΜΟΣ or ΕΝΚΟΤΥΛΗ. Two similar groups of boys pick-a-backed on young men alternate with single figures. On one side the boy on the extreme right carries his stick waist-high, while on the other he has raised it behind his head above the level of his shoulder. The young man on the left has the boy on his back by the shins, the one on the right by the lower part of the thighs. The first boy clutches at his carrier's biceps, the second has thrown his arms completely around the other's body. Below either handle, the twining stalks of the vines whose tendrils fill the fields of both sides A and B. White wreaths on all but one of the figures. Red on the forelock and the nape of the neck.
Good black glaze in interior; reserved line around inside of rim of offset lip.
For the above mentioned game see Walters (1905) II, p. 167.
