Youths VII
Rendered in black figure, four ships and dolphins ride the waves on the cup interior rim, where they would appear to float if the cup were filled.
In the tondo, inside a thin red circle, a youth rendered in red figure struggles to lift with both hands a diota (two-handled transport amphora) heavy with wine. The naked youth, probably a young komast, wears a chlamys over shoulders and wreath. The amphora shape, evocative of transport amphorae, creates a fitting juxtaposition with the ships.
Nonsense inscriptions in the tondo.
Attic bilingual kylix
Diam. 15,2 cm.
Attributed to The London E2 Painter by Beazley
510 - 500 BC
From Vulci, Viterbo
