Attic Red-Figure Kylix

Red-figure Apollodoros · Kylix · 510–500 B.C.
The cup is restored from five fragments, and is only partially preserved. Painted within a reserved, single line tondo is a balding, white-haired and bearded man dragging a goat by the horns to the right. The man wears a cloak hanging down his back, and looping over his upper arms. He holds a staff in his hands, with which he also grasps the ram by the horns. There are fillets or ribbons added in red around the goat's horns, indicating its sacrificial status. Only the neck and most of the face (muzzle missing) are preserved for the goat, and the man's lower right leg is missing. An inscription appears in the field in front of the man: "Ho pais kalos."
