Fragment from Red-Figure Cup: Woman

Red-figure Telephos Painter · Kylix · c. 470–460 BCE

A bit of preserved lip shows that this fragment comes from a kylix, or drinking cup. A finely dressed woman, with earring and headband, reaches out with her right hand, now lost but once holding a wreath in added red paint. Relief lines standing above the surface outline the face, neck, arm, and other details.
