CAVI Lemma: BF lekythos. From Gela. Gela Painter. Late sixth - first quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Amazons arming: the ph. in Haspels shows: a shield at left; Amazon to right;
shield (probably held by her}; below it, a sword and two upright spears; at
right, Amazon to left holding a shield in profile, with a satyr head as device
sticking out.
CAVI Inscriptions: Nonsense. Part imitation. Small letters strewn in field. Those shown in
Haspels' photo do not look like the usual nu's; they are small and resemble
lambda 2, sigma 1 cf. the chart in AttScr), and perhaps one looks like a nu;
others are imitation letters. But from the Beazley ph. I had concluded the
letters were the usual nu type, but tinier. [[7539:]] CAVI 7540 had Syracuse
2358 in error, which is not inscribed.
CAVI Number: 7540
