  • CAVI Collection: Boston 1978.45.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF hydria (kalpis). Berlin Painter. First quarter fifth. Middle period: ca. 485 (Cahn).
  • CAVI Subject: Apollo and other divinities at a sacrifice: at right, Apollo with kithara and phiale turns back toward Iris; altar; Artemis and Leto. At Apollo's left, a winged Iris(1) approaches to fill his phiale. The other two figures are in a procession behind Artemis and Leto: Athena; Hermes looking back at Iris.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: To left of Leto's right shoulder: Λετ[ο], retr. Behind Artemis' left elbow: [Αρτ]εμις. To left of Athena's face: Αθεναια, retr. To right of Hermes' upper left arm: hερ[με]ς. Under the foot, Gr.: nu reversed or sigma lying down.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} Nike, according to Bea. Arch.
  • CAVI Comments: Apollo and Iris are not named. It is unusual to have inscriptions so late in the Berlin Painter's work, if Cahn's date is right; AttScr (1990), 82 may need correction.
