Fragment of cul and body. Max. dim. 0.09.

On cul, chain of double lotuses and encircled palmettes.

The only painter to favor the chain of double lotuses and palmettes on the culs of his calyx-kraters is Euphronios, who used it six times, always on the obverse: Louvre G 103 (ARV2 14, 2; Paralip. 322, 2; Addenda 152; Euphronios, cat. no. 3; Denoyelle, Chefs-d'oeuvre . . . Louvre, pp. 104--105, cat. no. 47); Louvre G 110 (ARV2 14, 3; Paralip. 322, 3; Addenda 152; Euphronios, cat. no. 2); Louvre G 33 (ARV2 14, 4; Euphronios, cat. no. 11); Munich inv. 8935 (ARV2 1619, 3 bis; Paralip. 322, 3 bis; Addenda 152; Euphronios, cat. no. 5); New York, M.M.A. 1972.11.10 (Euphronios, cat. no. 4); and New York, Levy and White (Euphronios, cat. no. 6). Elsewhere, it may be seen on the following: 271; Ferrara 2891 = T.313 by the Niobid Painter (ARV2 602, 24; Paralip. 395, 24; Addenda 266; Prange, Niobidenmaler, p. 187, cat. no. N 32); Rome, Villa Giulia 909, the namepiece of the Villa Giulia Painter (ARV2 618, 1; Paralip. 398, 1; Addenda 270); Ferrara 2893 = T.617, the namepiece of the Peleus Painter (ARV2 1038, 1; Paralip. 443, 1; Addenda 319; CVA, Ferrara 1 [Italia 37], pl. 22 [1666]:2, 3; Reeder, Pandora, pp. 349--351, cat. no. 110; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 436, cat. no. PE 1, pl. 91); Ferrara 2892 = T.300 in his manner (ARV2 1041, 6; Paralip. 443, 6; Addenda 319; CVA, Ferrara 1, [Italia 37], pl. 19 [1663]; Matheson, p. 443, cat. no. PEM 7, pl. 153). 270 seems closer to these than to Euphronios.
