Red-Figure Stamnos (Mixing/Storage Vessel): Komos (Musicians and Revelers)

Red-figure Kleophon Painter · Stamnos · c. 435–425 BCE

Four lively figures move to the right across the front side of this stamnos, a vase used for storing and mixing wine. First comes a finely dressed woman playing the pipes, followed by three male figures, all nearly nude. The bearded one holds a drinking cup and reaches back, perhaps dancing, while the last in line concentrates on the music of his lyre.
