CAVI Collection: Tarentum, Museo Nazionale I.G. 4435.
CAVI Lemma: BF Droop cup. From Tarentum{1}. Unattributed{2}. Antidoros, potter. Third
quarter sixth. 550-530.
CAVI Subject: A: boar hunt. B: battle of pygmies and cranes.
CAVI Inscriptions: B: at the extreme left, a crane attacks some pygmies. Above the crane:
nonsense: imitatiom letters: α(.)(δ)(π)(.)(.). Under the foot, around the
central hole: Αντιδορος ^ επ̣οε. The words are slightly separated.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} from the same tomb as I.G. 4434, Via Nitti, 1897. {2} Beazley: "I cannot
be sure that the pictures are by the same hand on both cups [this and Ι.G.
4434]."
CAVI Comments: Location of the signature: around the central hole, very close to the edge,
covering less than 1/2 of the circumference. The verb is slightly separated from
the name (not so in 4434). The lettering is less careful than in 4434. For
signatures under the foot, which are not uncommon on Droop cups, see AttScr
(1990), 49 n. 47. The nonsense inscription is in thick and coarse letters,
probably not by the hand of 4434.
