APC Image: AK 0994Red-figured krater sherds. Top Left: Fragment of a kylix krater. Pursuit(?). Two figures are striding to the right. Part of the booted leg of the first and two handing ends of his chlamis are preserved. At the right is the lower leg of a man similarly dressed in a chlamis, hastening away from the first figure. Ca. 500 B.C. By Kleophrades. Top Center: Fragment of a krater (column ?). A komos(?). The right arm and wrist of a man holding a pointed amphora by one of the handles. Ca. 500 B.C. Top Right: Fragment of a column krater(?). A quadriga to right: part of the head and neck of one horse; behind, the neck of a second. Ca. 500-490 B.C. Middle Row, left to right: Fragment of a bell krater. A symposion; a naked make figure reclining on the ground. Below the ground line, ovules. At the extreme right of the fragment is the rim of a phiale. The figure leans on its right elbow. End of the fifth century B.C. or early fourth. Fragment of similar type. A man standing to left. The draped figure of a man (knees and a small part of the upper legs remain, with traces of another figure at the left of the fragment). End of the fifth century B.C. or early fourth. Fragment of the side of a lekythos. A male figure going to right(?). Part of the skirt of the short chiton and the lower hem of the dark bordered chlamys(?). Ca. 470 B.C. or after. Part of the straight wall of the side, with a projecting moulding on the upper part of the interior. Part of the head of a man in a pointed cap, looking down. Middle row, left and bottom row, left: Two fragments of a krater, one of the side, the other of the side but near the shoulder. Man and boy. Boy is draped in a large himation. His right hand is raised, his left rests on his hip below his cloak. At the right is part of a draped figure also facing to the left. On the bottom fragment a man is also draped in a mination, he might form the upper part of the second figure on fragment with the boy. Ca. 470 B.C. By the Pan painter (Beazley). Bottom row, center and right: Two fragments of a krater, the second from near the shoulder. Two figures to left. Central sherd shows the lower part of a draped figure seated to left (thighs to feet). The cloak is gathered tightly around the legs, which show through the material. At the left traces of some object or of a second figure. The background apparently has not been filled in. Right sherd shows torso of a man with cloak drawn over his left shoulder and wrapped around his waist to fall over his left wrist. At the right, a standing figure. The left figure on the second piece may form the upper part of the figure on the first fragment. Ca. 480-470 B.C.(?)
