APC Image: AK 1013Fragments of a white ground kylix. Left: the inside of a kylix. A draped figure seated to the left on a camp-stool covered by a lion skin. Preserved: the thighs of the figure in an elaborate himation the folds of which lie in patterned formation along the seat of the chair. At the right are other folds hanging free, probably falling over the figure's left arm. The head and right paw of the lion miss being on the fragment, but behind the upper part of the leg may be seen the cross-support of the folding stool. On the lap of the figure are folds lying in such way as to suggest that the cloak was fastened on the left shoulder or that the right end crossed the figure's lap and draped its left arm. The rather complicated decoration of the drapery would seem to indicate that the figure was a woman, but, as Mrs. Wade-Gery pointed out, warriors also can wear elaborate clothes. Right: The outside of the above kylix. Figures of two youths running in opposite directions, the lad on the right with an oinochoe in his hand.
