APC Image: AK 1136: Fragments of red-figured kylix from Y-Z. Several fragments of a red-figured kylix. Of the decoration is preserved most of the figure of an ithyphallic satyr advancing to the right toward a maenad. The tail of the satyr is added in a purplish brown color applied over the black glaze. Part of the figure, from neck to waist, right foot, and end of tail are missing. The black glaze has peeled off in several places close to the figure so as to render the details, especially of the face, very indistinct. Of the maenad only the feet and lower part of her drapery are preserved. Another small fragment probably from the other side of the vase preserves part of a wing and part of a palmette. Several fragments have parts of the design consisting of buds and tendrils, round the handles. Relief lines, from the contours are clearly visible. The drawing is rather careless with few interior details added. The kylix was painted by some second-rate artist of the Epictetan circle. It has many points of similarity with the works of the Euergides painter, especially the awkward rendering of the hands, but on the basis of the small remaining fragments it is difficult to assign it to a definite painter. The date is ca. 510 B.C. Object Description: | | Fragments of red-figured kylix from Y-Z. Several fragments of a red-figured kylix.
