Skyphos

Skyphos · 100–50 B.C.
One of a pair of skyphoi. The handles, designed to be held with the thumb, forefinger and middle finger have a horizontal, flaring plate on top with tight curlicues at the rim attachment. The lower attachments have elaborate cut-out designs featuring scrollwork and an ivy leaf. The rings have small, leaflike knobs on the outer face. The exterior profile of the skyphos is slightly incurving.
