Symposium
Description
Pottery: red-figured kylix (drinking-cup) showing boys serving wine. INTERIOR: komast. A bearded komast moves to the right with head turned back to left. He wears a chlamys over his upper arms and a red apicate fillet in his hair. He holds a cup back in his right hand and a knotty stick across his body in his left. Relief line for vertical strokes of fringe over forehead and for horizontal lines of hair tied up at back (relief line fringe for beard); dilute glaze line above and below eye. Preliminary sketch indicates that the chlamys was intended to be longer on the right. Border: alternating false maeander (twelve-stroke, alternately clockwise and anticlockwise) and blackened cross-square. EXTERIOR: symposium. Side A (lower): three banqueters on couches attended by two boys. On the couch on the left a bearded man reclines to the left, his head turned back to the right. He wears a himation over his left shoulder and around his waist and legs and a red apicate fillet in his hair. He rests against a folded cushion decorated with pairs of stripes, while he grips a cup in his left hand and holds out his right hand palm upward as if holding another. Above him hang two cups, seen from underneath, and a flat-bottomed oinochoe. His couch rests on a dais, the corner of which is visible on the left, and in front of it (ie. alongside) is a three-legged table on which are three red garlands. In front of the left hand end of the central couch stands a naked boy with a red fillet in his hair. He holds an oinochoe in his right hand and stretches out his left hand towards the symposiast on the central couch. Here a bearded man reclines to the left (cushion decorated with a pair of stripes and a stripe flanked by pairs of lines). He holds out a cup high in his right hand; his left hand is empty. He wears a himation in the same manner as the first symposiast, but has a thick reserved fillet (alternately vertical line and rows of dots at each bunching) in his hair. Above him and the boy hang two footless oinochoai and a cup seen from underneath. Alongside his couch is a three-legged table over which hang three red garlands. The couch on the right is seen in end view from the back. On it reclines a bearded man with a himation round his waist and a red apicate fillet in his hair. He is seen from the back, his left elbow resting on his cushion and his raised right knee splayed out to the right. He holds a cup up to his lips in his left hand and gestures with his right to the boy who stands between him and the central couch. Either side of the end of the couch project the ends of his striped cushion. Alongside the couch is a three-legged table, also seen from the end, the two legs in profile in the foreground, the third in back view beyond. The naked boy attendant who stands on the left of the couch, behind the table, has a frontal torso and left leg. His hair has a long straight fringe of relief lines over his neck. He holds an oinochoe in his left hand, tipped down so that the trefoil mouth is shown foreshortened. He gestures with his right hand as he looks at the symposiast. Above these two figures are two cups seen from underneath and a small foodess oinochoe. Side Β (upper): three couches and one boy attendant. The couch and its occupant on the left repeats the form of the central couch on side A, although the symposiast's himation has a line border and his cushion pairs of lines. As on the first couch on side A, the corner of the dais is visible. Above this couch hang two cups seen from underneath and a footed oinochoe. At the left hand end of the central couch stands a naked boy with a red hair-band, holding a small chytra in his right hand as he holds up his left hand. The bearded man on this couch repeats the scheme of the central couch on side A, save that here he holds a cup in his left hand and extends his right arm out towards the boy. From the fingers of his right hand hangs a red circlet. Above hang a footless oinochoe, a cup seen from underneath and a small chytra. The couch on the right is seen from behind, as on side A. The man here, however, holds a cup in his left hand as he leans on his left elbow, and his right hand is held out further to the left (no hair-band). The corner of the dais is visible and there is a three-legged table alongside the couch, but no attendant, nor are there any red garlands on the table and the cushion is plain. Above hang two cups seen from underneath and a small footless oinochoe. At either handle: floral complex with a circumscribed palmette either side of the handles and a large and a small palmette addorsed under the handles; spiral terminals and dots. Ground line: single reserved line. Graffiti under foot Relief line contours throughout (double for hair, except on AI); dilute glaze for minor interior markings; reserved line inside and outside lip; added red for inscriptions. --The British Museum, Williams, Dyfri, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 17, British Museum 9, London, BMP, 1993; A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893

Pottery: red-figured cup. INTERIOR: Achilles and Odysseus. On the left Achilles sits on a plain stool, closely wrapped in a himation that covers the back of his head, and with head bent forward, his left hand supporting his forehead (relief lines for forehead hair and lower fringe of beard). Behind him his sword in its striped scabbard is suspended from a red loop and above him is his shield wrapped in its cover (sagma). On the right stands Odysseus clad in a himation and leaning on a knotty stick. He has a red fillet in his hair and gestures with the thumb and fingers of his right hand as he speaks to Achilles: his mouth is shown slightly open. Behind him on the ground is the corner of a stool with a plain cushion. There is a large reserved exergue. Border: stopt maeanders (five-stroke, clockwise) interrupted at irregular intervals by nine dotted cross-squares. EXTERIOR: departure of warriors and conversation scene. Side A (upper): departure of three warriors. On the left a bearded warrior moves away to the left, but turns his head back to the right (relief strokes on beard). He wears an Attic type helmet with the cheek flaps up (crest holder decorated with zigzag and triangles), cuirass, greaves and a himation and carries a spear in his left hand. Behind him an elderly bearded man with thinning hair (and relief strokes on beard and hair over neck) stands to the left. He wears a himation and shoes, and has a red fillet in his hair. His right hand rests on the top of a plain stick; his left is under his cloak. In the centre a woman stands to the left but turns her head back to the right. She wears a chiton (upper folds in dilute glaze), a himation and a headscarf and holds an oinochoe with a black foot out in her right hand and a bossed phiale (lobes in dilute glaze) low in her left. On the right stands a young warrior in an Attic type helmet with the cheek flaps up (dotted crest holder), cuirass and himation. He holds out a bossed phiale (lobes in dilute glaze) in his right hand, while his left grips a spear against his body. Behind him is a second young warrior, similarly clad and accoutred, but gesturing with his right hand. On the far right is a woman in chiton and himation and with a red fillet in her hair (wavy relief lines over forehead) and a bun at the back. She has her right hand up as if holding a flower, her left is hidden in her drapery. Side Β (lower): men and youths in conversation, together with a young warrior. On the left is a bearded man in himation, seen in three-quarter back view, to the right. He holds a knotty stick on the far side of his body and gestures with his right hand. There is a thick reserved fillet in his hair. In front of him a bearded man in himation and with a red fillet in his hair (relief line fringe in beard and hair, both over brow and neck) stands to the right but turns his head back to the left, so that his chest is frontal. His left hand rests near the top of a knotty stick. In the centre, a youth dressed in cuirass and himation, stands to the right, his head turned back. His left hand holds a staff (perhaps a sceptre) and there is a red fillet in his fringed hair (relief lines). On the right is a bearded man in three-quarter back view, wearing a himation that is caught up under his left armpit. He also has a red fillet in his hair (relief lines over brow). His right hand reaches out towards and behind the young warrior in the centre, his left arm hangs down. To the right of this man a youth in himation stands to the left but turns back to the right. His right hand is raised and he has a red fillet in his hair. Behind him, on the far right, is a bearded man in a himation who holds out his right hand. He too has a red fillet in his hair. At either handle: floral complex with a circumscribed palmette either side of the handles and a large and a small palmette addorsed under them; spiral terminals and dots. Ground line: single reserved line. Relief line contours throughout (inner hair contour only); dilute glaze for minor interior markings; added red for inscriptions; reserved line inside and outside lip. --The British Museum, Williams, Dyfri, Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum: Great Britain 17, British Museum 9, London, BMP, 1993; A Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, London, William Nicol, 1851; Walters, H B; Forsdyke, E J; Smith, C H, Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum, I-IV, London, BMP, 1893
