- Description
- Pottery skyphos decorated in the 'Kabirion' style. Designs black on deep buff ground, with incised lines. On the top of the handles, a zigzag pattern; below the designs a double wave-pattern. (a) Centaur to right, with shaggy hair, beard, and tail, holding a crooked staff in right hand, and a tree in left, confronts two grotesque beardless male figures in himatia, carrying sticks, that of the front one knotted; behind them, a tree. (b) Pigmy to left with hump-back, attacking a crane; the crane retreats to left, looking back. Behind, a vine with large bunches of grapes. --The British Museum Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
