- Description
- Two joining rim fragments. Probably from a bell-krater; a small part of molding at the top of the neck preserved. A nude youth, with body twisted to his left, looks back over his right shoulder, his arms extended. He wears a crown of the type worn by torch runners; it is indicated by added yellow paint and a white dot. Outline of the head and face in dilute glaze. Fine black lines for the eye; double line for the eyebrow and anatomical details. The area around his hair is left reserved. Added yellow and white dots for two flower sprays near his right hand. The beginning of the border decoration of neck has a slight groove, a reserved band bordered by two horizontal lines, and the beginning of a guilloche or egg-and-dart pattern above. Interior: black glaze with a reserved band just below the outward curve of the molding.
