Title: | Red Figure Cup: Type B and Inscribed | |
Category: | Pottery | |
Description: | A large cup of type B, mended from many pieces; one handle, much of stem and fragments elsewhere missing. Part of ancient lead mend at top of stem preserved. Interior: Within a reserved circle, athlete holding halteres, bending right; wreathed. Inscription around: <graphic> Exterior: A) and B) Fight. On each side there are two pairs in single combat, with a warrior at center between the two pairs. The pair at the right, on each side, consists of a warrior and a youth wearing, on A, short himation and wreath, and carrying a shield; on B, short sleeved chiton, wreath, and carrying a sword. Some of the warriors wear chitons, corselet, greaves and helmet, others greaves and helmet only. Much is missing from the right hand group on A, and the action is not clear. Reserved line below picture. Note the rather elaborate greaves. The shield devices include bull's heads, hind part of feline, concentric dotted circles, groups of small circles. Both kinds of shields, round and figure-eight, are represented, as well as Attic and Corinthian helmets. Inscription near rim: <graphic> Relief contour. Red, faded, for inscriptions and wreaths. Drawing glaze somewhat worn on the exterior. For the jumper, cf. perhaps the cup in Würzburg by the Bowdoin-Eye painter, ARV, p. 95, 6 (A and B). | |
