CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Pan Painter. First quarter fifth. Ca. 480.
CAVI Subject: Int.: a boy in an embroidered robe holds some branches and prays before a
laver; at right, a column.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the bowl of the laver, in BG: κα[λ]ο[ς]. On the base of the laver, which
is cut off by the margin, in BG: ας, complete. Perhaps intended for: [--]ας |
κα[λ]ο[ς](?).
CAVI Comments: Mingazzini in accordance with others says that the boy is in female clothing;
he disagrees with F. Hauser who connected the scene with the oschophoria.
Harrison thinks of a rain ritual. Deubner also rejects the oschophoria but has
no solution. Mingazzini considers instead the thallophoria and cites Beazley who
thinks of the pyanepsia. It is at any rate a precise ritual in whch a boy
immerses a branch (of myrtle or olive, not a vine) into a laver. I think the
painter is indicating the end of a word, which would have filled the base:
[---]ας.
