APC Image: AK 0985Attic red-figured sherds, kylikes and kotyles. Top Left: Fragment from the center of a kylikos. Herakles stringing his bow. The front part of his face is preserved showing the upper jaw of the lion skin on his forehead. At the top, a bit of a circle; at the right, the top of the bow. This photo should be tilted to the right. Ca. 500-490 B.C. Attributed to the Panaitios painter by Beazley. Top middle: Fragment from the rim of a kylikos. The head of Athena to left. Possibly a gigantomachy. At the lower left side of the fragment are parts of her shield and her aegis. Above, her spear. A. 500-490 B.C. "An early work of Makron's" (Beazley). Top right: Fragment of the stem and center of a kylikos. Herakles advancing to right. He wears a lion skin over his left shoulder and arm (one paw shows above, knotted around his neck), buckler-wise, in the manner of Athena's aegis. Behind his right leg is the tail of the lion. A. 480 B.C. The photo should be tilted a little to the left. Left center: Arming scene. Fragment of the exterior design. The middle part of a draped woman holding a scabbard in her right hand (the strap dangles from the hilt). The drapery is twice girded. Traces of another figure at the extreme right, at the level of the first girdle. Ca. 480 B.C. Left bottom: Fragment from the center; the start of the foot on the reverse. A silen(?), Herakles(?). Part of the leg of a naked figure; two paws of a lion skin. Center bottom: Fragment of the rim. Contest for the tripod. Traces of the hair and the lion skin of Herakles remain at the left; at the right, the upper part of the tripod, parts of the bow of Apollo and of the left arms both of Apollo and of Herakles. Between the tripod and the hollow of Apollo's elbow is the shaft of an arrow. This fragment makes the third of three similar kotylai from the Aropolis. They are very like each other in style and the fragment from the North Slope together with Acr. 449 and 450 must be Oltan as well as the others. A. 520 B.C. by Oltos. Right center: Fragment of a small cup, possibly a kotyle (The fragment is upside down in the photo). A figure mounting a chariot. Ca. 440-430 B.C. Right bottom: Fragment of the side. A draped figure with a staff, to right, over a zone of crossing lines. The Attic form of this type of Kotyle, once derived from Corinth, is imitated in turn at Corinth. Third quarter of the 5th century B.C.(?).
