CAVI Lemma: RF plastic kantharos (head vase: negress's head). From Cerveteri.
Unattributed; Class G: The London Class. End of sixth (Eichler).
CAVI Subject: Palmettes.
CAVI Inscriptions: At the bottom of the neck, below the palmettes, horizontal Grr.: A: hο παις
ναι. B: καλος κα̣(ρ)τα γε{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} CVA prints the rho as D-shaped; it apears to be extant. Beazley in JHS
interprets: hο παις καλος, ναι, καρτα γε. But why not as written: hο παις, ναι,
καλος, καρτα γε(?). At any rate,it is a single inscription in two parts.
CAVI Comments: Ex Oest. Museum 347. The palmettes and Grr. inscriptions are similar to the
Vatican head vase, ARV[2] 1533/7, of the same class, q.v. The letters on A are
well spaced, i.e., planned, and fill the whole space. The same is no doubt true
of B also.
