CAVI Lemma: BF band cup. From Vulci. Unattributed. Third quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Handle zone: A: in the center, two horsemen facing; between them, a bird; on
each side, a naked youth running toward the center. B: similar, but a nonsense
inscription replaces the bird; the right youth is partly missing. (Three youths
have a cloak over their arms.)
CAVI Inscriptions: Handle zone: B: nonsense: between the horsemen, in a downward curve, and
facing left: ϝ(κ)ϝ(.).
CAVI Comments: Fellmann compares the ff., both for style and subject: Vatican 328
(Albizzati, pl. 35) and a cup in Palermo; another similarity is with Brijder's
`Runners Painter' (Brijder (1975), 260ff.), although the palmettes are
different. - An interesting example of the importance given to the writing of
letters.
