APC Image: AK 1011Black-figured sherds. Top row left to right: Fragment of the lid of a lekanis. A race(?). The hindquarters of the first horse and the forepart of the second. Late sixth century B.C. Two fragments of the slightly concave side of a small vase with excellent glaze on the interior. A kantharos(?). On the first fragment - feet and the lower part of the drapery of a woman to right. On the second fragment - Athena to right. Her eye, nose, and mouth, her left arm, a snake of her aegis and part of the spear in her arm remain. Traces of another figure at the right of the fragment. Mock inscription in the field on both fragments. The head of Athena may go above the feet and drapery of the other fragment. Third quarter of the sixth century B.C. Fragment from the straight wall of an open vase with rather pronounced curve. Man and horse. The tail of the horse remains at the right. At the left is a male figure naked except for a dotted cloak over his raised left arm. Two meaningless inscriptions run obliquely aross the field. Third quarter of the sixth century B.C. Middle row left to right: Part of the nearly straight side of a kotyle. Athena and Herakles, standing in a chariot(?). Their heads are in parallel formation to the right. Above, the end of her crest. Ca. the end of the sixth century B.C.(?). Part of the nearly straight side of a kotyle. The gaping jaws, the eyes and the raised left paw of a lion crouching to left. End of the sixth century B.C. Two fragments of a convex side of a small vase, excellently glazed on the interior. Top fragment shows the middle part of a draped woman to right holding a staff in her right hand. In her raised left may be an object (a basket or box?) from which hangs a fillet (the lower end of which is visible at the right). A loose lock of hair hangs over her shoulder. Bottom fragment gives part of drapery with similar crinkly folds. Ca. 520-510 B.C. Fragment from the upper side of a tripod kothon, with the start of the foot on the reverse; quadriga to right: most of the car and the lower part of the charioteer in a long white chiton, holding a wreath in his right hand. There seems to be a second person in the car at the right. Below, the tails and hind feet of the horses. Ca. 560-550 B.C. Attributed to "C" group by Beazley. The drawing of the wheel is especially characteristic. Bottom left: Fragment of the upper surface and the ringed outer edge of the lid of a lekanis(?). Animals: stag, cock, and goose. The fragment must have formed part of a cover with ridged edge. Another example of this kind of vase occurs on the Acropolis. Ca. 560 B.C. Bottom right: Fragment of the convex side of a lekythos or oinochoe. A draped male facing left. His head and the upper part of his body have gone; a fold of his cloak lies over his left arm. Third quarter of the sixth century B.C.
