Wall fragment. Glaze slightly pitted and abraded. Max. dim. 0.068.

Woman (lower part of head to left, shoulders, upper part of torso), to right, dancing(?). She wears a brassiere (ταινι'α or ἀπο'δεσμος).

For the ταινι'α or ἀπο'δεσμος , see Hesperia Suppl. X, p. 56, sub 249. To the three examples and bibliography given there, add: Ferrara 2865 = T.404 by the Peleus Painter (ARV2 1039, 9; Paralip. 443, 9; Addenda 319; Matheson, Polygnotos, p. 438,

cat. no. PE 12, pl. 93); Havana, once Lagunillas by the Painter of Munich 2335 (Olmos, Vasos griegos . . . Lagunillas, p. 154, cat. no. 43); 1374 by the Lid Painter; Brauron A 43 (AK Beiheft 1, 1963, pl. 12); Perachora 3852, a fragmentary bell-krater dated ca. 400 B.C. (T. Dunbabin, Perachora II, Oxford 1962, pl. 148, left). The brassiere was worn by female dancers and acrobats, also by Atalante (J. D. Beazley, JHS 59, 1939 [ pp. 1--44], p. 23). From what remains on 446, this figure is very likely a dancer.
