Title:   Red Figure Bell Krater Fragments: Potter's Test Pieces
Category:   Pottery
Description:   a) Several joining fragments preserve a little more than half of the circumference, giving the lower part of the figured scene.
b) Single fragment from upper wall, with handle space and a little of Faces A and B.
A) Goddes rising; to either side of her, a dancing Pan; next the handle at left and probably at right, a female figure observing, seated on box.
B) Mantel figures; part of one preserved, with a large aryballos behind him, on fragment b). At extreme left of this fragment, something white, probably a cluster, from Face A.
White for the goddess' flesh; yellow overpainting for details. Background glaze not filled in. Vase presumably broken before decoration was complete and afterwards used as try piece. Large lifting hole cut through figured scene at bottom, at goddess' left shoulder.
The joining fragment at the left of the scene, giving altar and figure seated on box, and also the non-joining fragment b), are more completely fired than on the pieces giving the scene.
Context:   Dealer's dump. Box 44.
