Fragmentary Attic Red-Figure Kylix

Red-figure Boot Painter · Kylix · about 470 B.C.
The foot, handles, and entire rim are missing from the cup. It is decorated on the inside only with a symplegma scene. A nude, filleted youth sits on a chair to the right copulating with a nude woman who sits in his lap wearing a sakkos and earrings and leaning her left hand on a staff. The youth fondles the woman's left breast with his right hand. The tondo border is a meander. An inscription in red appears in the field.
