Attic Red-Figure Psykter

Reconstructed from fragments. The group of male figures on the body was first interpreted as fishermen by Frel (1983), but Immerwahr (1992) interprets the scene more convincingly as the making and selling of wine. In the first group, a wreathed and bearded man sits as a nude youth stands in a vat with both hands immersed in it. The bearded man holds out an empty wineskin. He says "three", to which the youth responds ""I will put in three [choes], certainly." To their left is a second youth, also nude, with a purse and a wreath, sitting atop a pile of bundles. He looks to his left and addresses the second group of figures with the phrase "five little choes".
The second group of figures involves a youth wearing a himation carrying an empty wineskin towards a wreathed and bearded man sitting on a pile of bundles. An inscription (SA[...) might preserve part of a name. To the left, another inscription (...]OSKALOS) and the third group of figures - a nude wreathed youth walking towards a vat and a wreathed and bearded man sitting on wineskins. He holds out a wineskin, its neck tied. To his left, another inscription (...]EUTOS (?))

On the shoulder, tongue pattern.
