- Description
Fragment of body. Part of shield rim with part of a device, perhaps a star, preserved in added white. Added purple on shield rim. Incised lines below may indicate folds of drapery.
G. Bakır, personal communication, suggested a date of no earlier than ca. 560 B.C.; and D. von Bothmer suggested that this may be the work of the Painter of Louvre F6 (letter of 23 September 1985).
