Agora Object: P 2570

Inventory Number:		P 2570
Section Number:		Α 621
Title:		Black Figure Cup
Category:		Pottery
Description:		Mended from many pieces; missing part of both handles, part of the foot and pieces from the rim and body. Inside, a small medallion outlined by three concentric circles of thinned glaze. Within the medallion, an eagle with very large spread wings, facing. The decoration on sides A and B outside is essentially the same but because the handles were not set on the same axis there is room for one figure more on side A than there is on side B. A. Five figures, from left to right: a maenad running left; a satyr pursuing her; a draped figure seated on a stool facing right and holding out a wreath toward Dionysos, who reclines on a couch, left. Behind him also left, a second satyr holding out a smaller wreath. Beneath the figured zone three lines of dilute glaze, the upper serving as ground line. Further down, a reserved band. B. As A, save that the first figure is missing, and the satyr is chasing only the handle of the cup. Reserved: a narrow stripe inside the lip, the insides of the handles, the outside of the foot, its resting surface and the upper part of the stem on the inside. Pink wash on the foot; orange wash over the clay-colored surfaces. The glaze dull and poor on the inside; somewhat better on the outside; scanty and careless incision. Red for spots on the eagle's tail; on the exterior for beards, tails, garment stripes, and a band along Dionysos' couch. Traces of white also on A, on garments and the god's wreath.
