Red-Figure Skyphos Fragment (part of 93.AE.54)

Exterior: drapery hem, likely of a himation, and part of Cheiron’s leg to the right. Interior: black. This fragment joins to 93.AE.54.8, which provides the groundline and completes the front legs of Cheiron, which are wearing skin boots. Also joins to 93.AE.54.7, with the legs of Peleus to left. This fragment belongs to a partially reconstructed skyphos (93.AE.54) that depicts on side A: Peleus and Thetis, with their child Achilles, meeting Cheiron, in the company of Apollo, and on side B: a priest holding a temple key and a staff, a woman shaking hands with a seated figure, and two standing figures—perhaps the priest Chryses meeting Agamemnon to recover his daughter Chryseis (see Williams, 1997, who also notes other joining fragments in Leipzig). This fragment belongs to side A.
