| Title: | Black Figure Skyphos | |
| Category: | Pottery | |
| Description: | Mended; almost complete, except for parts of rim and body. Attic type skyphos. Strong torus foot, deep body, slightly out-turned concave lip, canted horseshoe handles. Reserved: underside with two glazed circles and central dot; resting surface of foot; stem and bottom of body, stem with added red, lower body decorated with debased tongues in alternating purple and black; central medallion within with painted circle; inside of handles. Lip decorated with two rows of debased ivy leaves. Lower part of body glazed, painted scene confined to upper half of vase. Side A: group of three banqueters on a single large mattress. First and third figures recline on left sides, holding up cups in their right hands. Both banqueters turn to look right, both wear unusual headdresses. Figure on right is clearer, with two elongated upright ears between curving horns. Figure on left has three long projections off front, elongated cap with circle at end off back of head. Central figure, a musician playing a flute, sits left. Poor painting and incision. Side B: Similar scene to side A, but left banqueter largely missing. Central figure sits left holding a lyre. Added white and lack of incision indicate a female, with hair bound up. Framing scenes and under handles, are numerous large, plump, long-necked birds in pairs or trios: ravens? ducks? geese? Several stand on stumps, suggesting landscape and an outdoor banquet, as does the single small bird in flight to the right of the lyre player's head on side B. On side B, the glaze quite worn up near the top. Traces of added color on clothing. Attic clay. Shape = Agora XXIII, nos. 1483-1490 (Theseus painter?). Decoration = 'White Heron Group' (D. Von Bothmer, Aug. 1995) Agora XXIII, p. 60, ca. 500 B.C. | |
