Black-Figure Lekythos (Oil Vessel): Komos (Revel)

Black-figure The Group of Cleveland 16.1061 · Lekythos · c. 500 BCE
Three bearded figures dance or cavort on this oil vessel, each wreathed, loosely draped with a cloak, and holding a staff. The central figure also holds a drinking horn, though all may well have been drinking. The painter of this vase is unknown, but the style of drawing has been linked to a similar vessel now in Syracuse, Sicily.
