Pottery: black-figure kylix. Rough style. Interior, in a medallion: A potter, nude and beardless, with drapery over left shoulder, seated to right before a wheel, on which is a kylix of archaic shape, the handle of which he is moulding; on a shelf above him are four kylikes, in two piles, and an oinochoe. Exterior: (a) Gigantomachia: Athene advancing to right, with high-crested helmet, long chiton and himation, both embroidered, aegis on left arm, attacks Enkelados with spear; he has fallen back with right leg drawn up; he has an embroidered chlamys over his shoulder. On either side, eyes, black, with a white ring round the pupil. In the field, branches and bunches of grapes. (b) The same design. Under each handle, a dolphin to right. --The British Museum
