- CAVI Lemma: Frs. of RF skyphos. From Thasos. Nikosthenes Painter. Last quarter sixth.
520-510 (Poursat).
- CAVI Subject: At left, middle part of a triple or quadruple herm; portions of armed
dancers; upper portion of a young flautist.
- CAVI Inscriptions: At the herm's highest preserved portion, remains of BG dots, perhaps of two
horizontal lines, which P. considers an indication of a simulated inscription,
perhaps rightly. Under the foot, around triple circles, well spaced and
ornamental, in a circle, facing out: [N]ικοσθ[ενε]ς επο[ιεσεν].
- CAVI Comments: For the position of the signature, Beazley compares the Acropolis frs. ABV
(1956), 233-34 and Delt. 16,3. See also AttScr (1990), 49 n. 47. All Corinthian
type skyphoi in this period are works of Nikosthenes; the other examples: ABV
231/1-3 and 234.
