CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Orvieto. Oltos. Last quarter sixth. 520-510 (Fischer-Hansen).
CAVI Subject: Int.: a naked woman (hetaera) dancing. Ext.: between large palmettes: A: man
(Hermes or Dionysus?) reclining, flanked by rearing goats. B: woman (hetaera?)
reclining, between rearing rams.
CAVI Inscriptions: A, B, each: hο παις καλος. The same, incomplete, on B.
CAVI Comments: The identification of the man on A is controversial. Beazley says: `man
(Hermes")' and others also assume Hermes, because of the hat (petasos?) hung up
by the figure. F.-H. thinks he is Dionysus because of the goats. -A few letters
show in the catalogue photo of A.
