Krater · about 570–550 B.C.
Fragment of a column krater reconstructed from three fragments with three registers of figural decoration preserved. Top register: eight komasts. The second from left, with a flute case hanging from his arm, plays a flute while the others dance. Middle register: animals, of which survive the hindquarters of a feline to left, an almost complete panther to right, and the head and shoulder of a grazing goat to left. In the lowest register, the shoulder of another animal, perhaps a goat, to left. In field: small rosettes. On the black band at join to neck: an incised line; between the registers: lines.
