Attic Red-Figure Kylix Fragment
Cup fragment preserving part of one handle. The fragment [83.AE.284.102](https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/27621/) provides more of the tondo.
Interior: in the tondo, the lower body and outstretched right hand of a figure (probably one of two) reclining on a *kline* (couch); the left leg of a table set in front of the *kline* also remains. The ground line is rendered with an ovolo pattern and the tondo border is a band of meander interspersed with cross-squares.
Exterior: part of a symposium scene. A youth and a bearded man converse, each with a skyphos, as they recline against cushions upon a couch. Both wear fillets, and their lower bodies are swathed in drapery. Before the couch stands a low table, and a basket hangs at upper left. To the right is a nude youth, facing right and also wearing a fillet, who holds an oinochoe. It is likely that he attends to another pair of drinkers, who are now missing.
Palmettes occupy the area around the handle. The rim is decorated with a cyma pattern. Below the figure-scene is a band of meander interspersed with cross-squares.
