Description: | Kotyle. | |
Decoration: | Black paint, nearly all flaked off, leaving light brown stain, and applied-purple paint, fired purplish gray. Frieze, bordered above by band, below by three lines; two padded dancers, 1., large swan, r., with raised wings. Thin rays at base. Interior in solid color with reserved band at edge. Applied purple on cheeks and bodies of dancers and neck of swan. Thick f.o. as on 607. By the Patras Painter. The f.o. of this vase is so thick and so carefully fitted that there is only enough free space left to separate the figures and rosettes. In several cases the separation had to be indicated by incised lines, and the tail of the swan overlaps one of the rosettes. | |
