CAVI Lemma: BF pelike. From Orvieto. Unattributed. Ca. 500 (Mommsen).
CAVI Subject: A: at the well: in the center, an old man pulls up the rope from which a
pelike is suspended (out of the well; the well head is a pithos); at left, a
tree supports the arrangement with a counterweight; further to left, a satyr is
greeted by a seated woman; to right of the well, a woman with pelike and
amphora.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: above the supporting branch: four imitation letters. Below it,
similar, interrupted by the tree trunk. To right of the old man: three - four
imitation letters. Under the foot, Gr.: chi surmounted by rho. Not in Johnston
(1979).
CAVI Comments: For the interpretation of the scene, see CVA, pp. 36-37. Buschor thought of
an early satyr play (forerunner of Aeschylus' Amymone); Mommsen prefers evryday
life, with the satyr introducing an erotic element.
