CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Unattributed{1}. Pamphaios, potter. Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: satyr masturbating into a pointed amphora{2}. Ext. plain.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: starting to right of feet and curving upward to above the satyr's body,
ending below his tail: Πανφαι^ος εποιεσε^ν{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Connor attributes to the Nikosthenes Painter. I noted that the writing
resembles him. {2} is he masturbating or urinating into it? Why is he putting
his ear to the amphora (the face frontal, which indicates excitement)? {3} the
amphora and the tail intervene. εποιεσεν is upside down. The inscription goes to
right along the margin and faces out.
CAVI Comments: Ex(?) Cassel, Dierichs. Is this in the museum or simply on loan? See Bea.
Arch.: `Kassel, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen.' So also Immerwahr (1984).
Nikosthenic lettering.
