CAVI Lemma: RF PLASTIC ARYBALLOS (HEAD VASE: WOMAN'S AND AFRICAN'S HEADS). FROM GREECE.
UNATTRIBUTED; EPILYKOS CLASS. LAST QUARTER SIXTH.
CAVI Subject: TWO COCKS, BETWEEN PALMETTES.
CAVI Inscriptions: ON EACH SIDE OF THE WOMAN'S NECK, NEAR THE PARTITION WITH THE AFRICAN'S NECK,
IN LARGE LETTERS, BOTH INSCRIPTIONS FACING THE WOMAN: ΚΑΛΟς AND ΚΑΛΟς, RETR.
CAVI Comments: IN JHS, BEAZLEY SAYS THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHETHER THE VASE IS BY THE
SAME MOULDER AS G 986; CONCEIVABLY PAINTED BY SKYTHES. I RATHER THINK THE KALOS'
REFER TO THE AFRICAN.
