Floor fragment with start of stem on underside and four grooves between stem and bowl. Max. dim. 0.044.

I, man or youth (body, legs to knees) in a chlamys, standing frontally with his right arm (upper part) outstretched. Dilute glaze: edges of large folds.

The grooves at the top of the stem suggest that 1631 may have been an Acrocup, except that it lacks the fillet that normally appears between the stem and bowl on these cups. For this type of cup, see Bloesch, FAS, pp. 141--144; Agora XII, pp. 93--97.

Probably by the Penthesilea Painter. The drapery particularly agrees with Philadelphia, American Philosophical Society on loan to the University Museum L.637.1a (ARV2 880, 3; Paralip. 322, 3; Addenda 301); Hamburg 1900.164, the youth standing between the horses on one side (ARV2 880, 4; Paralip. 428, 4; Addenda 301); Chicago, Art Inst. 89.27 (ARV2 884, 77; Addenda 302); and Berlin 2548, an Acrocup, the woman wrapped in a himation and facing a satyr (ARV2 888, 147).
