Attic Black-Figure Lekythos Fragment

Black-figure Lekythos · about 500–475 B.C.

Two joined fragments preserve part of the body, and depict a half-crouching ithyphallic satyr pursuing a maenad (wearing a fillet and chiton), and another figure, who must be a satyr. In the field: vines. Along the upper edge of the fragment, a band of two rows of ivy leaves. Below the figures, a red line, a glaze band, a pair of red lines and a glaze zone. Adapted from Clark, A. CVA Malibu 2 (1990).
