Agora Object: P 2574

Inventory Number:		P 2574
Section Number:		Α 626
Title:		Red Figure Cup Fragments: Type B
Category:		Pottery
Description:		Mended from many pieces, about one-eighth of the rim preserved and three-quarters of the base. Both handles missing. The top of the medallion gone and pieces from the center. The outside lacks nearly all of one side and the upper parts of the figures on the other. One fragment, from the former, belongs but does not join. Interior: Framing the medallion, a scraped groove and inside it, ca. 0.003m., a reserved line. A woman seated left on a plain stool her feet on a large rectangular footstool of which the front part and her right foot are cut off by the medallion border. She wears a transparent chiton with deep overfold and over it a heavier bordered himation. Over her head is a short veil, similarly bordered. Her left hand, the fingers bent up as if holding something between thumb and forefinger, rests in her lap. Her right hand (the fingers missing) holds a mirror before her face. Behind her, cut off to the right by the medallion frame, is part of a large couch on which rests a striped cushion. Meaningless inscriptions in the field. Beside her, also facing left, stands a small grotesque figure, his head reaching only a little above the top of her chair. His outstretched right hand rests on a heavy knotted staff; his left (missing) appears to have been wrapped in the cloak which he wears around the lower part of his body. He has stringy light brown hair, which a wreath does not embellish, and a brown moustache. His head is more than a quarter of his entire height. Apparently a dwarf in attendance on his mistress. Exterior: under one handle a spotted panther, left, the head full face; under the other handle, no picture. A) Two groups, each of two figures in conversation. Left to right: facing right, a man wrapped in a cloak which leaves his upper right side free and is wrapped around his bent left arm; he appears to be holding an animal in his outstretched right hand. The forearm and hand of the donor and all of the animal save for two legs, missing. Alone of the figures on the exterior, this one preserves a part of the head, namely the hair at the back of the neck; the hairline reserved, with small dots along it. Facing him, another mantel-clad figure, missing from the waist up. Third is a man who leans on a staff right, his right foot seen from the front, the left leg bent, toes to ground, behind him. He too was apparently giving an animal, (long-tailed, probably a dog) to a short-cloaked boy facing him. The third figure is missing above the hips; the fourth from the knees. B. Parts of three figures only preserved, two on the cup and a third on the non-joining fragment. Presumably there were four, in two groups, as on A. At the extreme left, one foot of a standing figure; at the extreme right, part of a folding chair, a bit of drapery and a foot belonging to a figure seated left. Facing him was a man standing, leaning on a staff: the non-joining fragment preserves part of the staff, of his cloak including its lower edge and at the lower right corner of the piece, a bit of the drapery over the legs of the seated figure. On the inside of this piece, part of the double circle bordering the medallion. Inscriptions in the field, meaningless: <graphic> Heavy relief lines throughout. Black glaze, sometimes running brown, for the pillow stripes, the decoration on the leg of the couch, and the spots of the panther. Brown to yellow for the folds of the woman's chiton, the dwarf's hair and moustache, and for two of the folds of his himation. Red for the dwarf's wreath and for the "inscriptions". Beside the letters more or less comprehensible as such, side A shows, in the field, some very small scattered dots of red paint, as if from a spattering brush. Considerble remains of a pink wash on the reserved surfaces. Reserved: the outer edge of the lip; the preserved handle space, the ground line of the exterior scenes, a line on the step of the foot, the outer edge of the foot, and its resting surface. Scraped: the medallion frame and two lines outside between the stem and the figured decoration.
