45. Symposium
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

50. Nereid taking Greace to Achilles
Nereid taking Greace to Achilles
Description
Pottery: red-figure stemless kylix. Interior: Nereid on Hippocamp with greave of Achilles. Through the sea (indicated by wavy lines) the Hippocamp moves to right, bearing on its back, side-saddle, a Nereid in long chiton with apoptygma tied, long hair tied at the back and wreathed with olive, and earrings: she holds upright on her left palm, by its lower end, a greave, and extends her right as if directing the animal; it has the head and fore-quarters of a horse, wide open jaws with teeth, a spiny back in place of mane, and fins in place of fore-legs. The exergue is left red. Exterior: (a) Three youthful athletes: one in the centre sits on a bema of two steps, talking to one on right, who confronts him: on the left a third stands scraping his left arm with a strigil (apoxyomenos). Each wears a plain fillet with a vertical piece over the forehead. (b) Similar scene. A youth on right leans his left on a low fluted stele, and extends his right arm as if directing the movement of a second, who stands in a bent attitude, as if about to leap or run to right. On the left a third moves away, looking back and holding up in his left a lighted torch, such as was used in the torch-race (lampadedromia). All these have a fillet with three upright pieces rising from it. Late style. Waves, berries and stalks of wreaths, and centrepiece of fillet, white; brown wash on body of sea monster. Around the moulding on interior of lip, a wreath of ivy with berries. Around interior design, a band of sets of five maeanders separated by red cross squares. Beneath and beside the handles, triple palmette ornament. --The British Museum, 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
