Category: | Pottery | |
Description: | Single fragment of the upper body of a red-figured chous or oinochoe. Depicted are a figure of a flute-player and a satyr-player, both only partially preserved. The former stands to the left: his face, left shoulder and upper torso, and left arm, are preserved. He is bearded and dressed in the characteristic long robe, decorated with spotted circles: in his left hand he holds two auloi. The actor stands to the right, and wears the characteristic drawers and phallus of a satyr player; his front torso, waist and upper left thigh are preserved, as are both arms. In his right hand the actor holds out a full satyr-head mask, shown in profile and facing towards him; his left arm is upraised. Attic clay, well-refined and well-fired, with a wash of black slip on the (closed) interior. For similar R-F depictions on Attic vases, see J.D. Beazley in Hesperia 24 (1955) 305-319, esp. 314 f. and pls. 86-88. Ca. 440-420 B.C. | |
