CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF skyphos. From Athens. Unattributed. Date unclear.
CAVI Subject: A: men washing. At the top: clothes hung up. Fr.a: head of a boy; man bent
over a basin with arms deeply immersed. Fr. b: top of a head, probably of a
person bent over as that on fr. a.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense: fr. a: to left of boy's face: σο{1}. Above man's head: οσ. Fr. b:
to right of man's forehead: οσ.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} or οσ, retr.
CAVI Comments: Frs. a and b. Three-stroke sigma. Not [καλ]ος because of the position of the
inscriptions. Compare lekythoi by the Cactus Painter. - The vase may contradict
the idea that men in vats are always connected with the making of wine. But it
looks as if the `vat' is a smaller basin and the man is standing beside it.
