| Title: | Red Figure Pyxis Lid Fragment (Type II) | |
| Description: | Two female figures, one seated right in a chair (klismos), holds in her lap a large basket for offerings; the other, approaching from the right, appears to be hanging a string of beads over the basket. A lutrophoros, with a ribbon knotted about its handle, and flower-sprays - now faded - projecting from its mouth, stand on the ground between the two figures. The flesh of the seated women was rendered in white, of which part is preserved. Her drapery and chair were painted; nothing of the color remains. Dotted egg on projecting rim. Added clay for the basket, and for dots at the centres of the eggs; once gilded? Black below except resting surface and lower part of flange (=part to prevent lid from slipping) Early Kertch On basket and subject see A.J.A., 1907, XI, p.423 ff. | |
