Shoulder fragment with start of neck. Contour and relief line fired reddish brown. Max. dim. 0.058.
Satyr (most of face) to right. At the lower break, a bit of reserve, part of the satyr's outstretched left arm, and on the far right, a trace of his hand, probably the thumb. Fillet around head, mostly flaked. Preliminary sketch.
Not from the same column-krater as 228, which has no preliminary sketch and no traces of misfiring.
This satyr, with his bald pate, bushy eyebrow, and tiny snub nose, seems closest to these: two by the Diogenes Painter, St. Petersburg Π 1899.75 (ARV2 248, 1; Paralip. 350, 1; Addenda 202), which also has no tongue pattern on the shoulder at the junction with the neck, and London, B.M. E 261 (ARV2 248, 2; Addenda 202); also Geneva, Ortiz, which may be by the Diogenes Painter (ARV2 1639 to p. 249, 3) or the Syleus Painter (ARV2 249, 3; Addenda 203); and Louvre G 223 by the Syleus Painter (ARV2 250, 16).
