CAVI Lemma: RF volute krater. From Sicily? Berlin Painter. First quarter fifth. Early
(Beazley). 490-480 (Weiss).
CAVI Subject: A: Demeter and Triptolemos standing on either side of an altar, with D.
giving him the sheaves of grain, while he holds his scepter; at right, the
winged chair. B: woman about to pour a libation for a bearded man with a scepter
(Persephone and Hades?).
CAVI Inscriptions: A: traces of two inscriptions: to right of Demeter's mouth: Δ̣ε̣μ̣ε̣τ̣ε̣ρ. To
right of Triptolemos' back of head: [Τ]ρ̣ιπτο̣λ̣ε̣μος.
CAVI Comments: The surface is not well preserved, especially on B, where no inscription can
be seen. For the date see also the discussion in CVA, p. 79: cf. Lullies, in
Sammlung Ludwig I 224, but the vase belongs to Cardon's `Frühphase IV' and is
earlier than the dinos in the Ludwig collection [now in Basel, Antikenmuseum].
The date given by van Ufford is too late, as the vase combines late archaic and
early classical features. The Berlin Painter is fond of Eleusinian scenes; the
Raubitscheks emphasize the political background.
