Attic Red-Figure Kalpis Fragment

Red-figure Kleophrades Painter · 500–480 B.C.
Fragment from the shoulder of the vase, with the head and torso of a masturbating satyr. Bald and bearded, his frontal face is upturned, and he raises his left arm upward. Above his head is an inscription that reads ["I see] two suns". The scene is framed by a band of pomegranate net pattern on the left, and a meander band above. Another fragment from the same scene ([81.AE.206.C.15](http://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/107266/attributed-to-kleophrades-painter-attic-red-figure-kalpis-fragment-comprised-of-6-joined-fragments-part-of-85ae188-greek-attic-500-480-bc/)) shows a sleeping maenad to the right.
