CAVI Lemma: RF lekanis lid. From Gerona (Spain). Manner of Meidias Painter (Burn). Last
quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Less than 1/2 of the circle is preserved: at left, a lost figure, no doubt
seated; Eunomia and Chrysis, both turning toward the lost figure; Nike (or Dike)
presents a necklace to Eukleia who, seated, turns her back to her; between them,
a deer.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Shapiro does not attribute the vase and does not refer to Burn who
attributes it to the manner of the Meidias Painter. {2} also read Dike by Olmos
(1977–8), 471, repeated by Shapiro in LIMC ii, 389, s.v. Dike, no. 4 [but no
longer in `Person.']. CVA, p. 37, is said to be reading ΑΙΚΗ and interpreting it
Nικη; so also Huber (1989), 613.
CAVI Comments: Ullastret is ancient Gerona in Spain. Pericay suggested that the divinities
in the scene represent the cult of Artemis, in whose sanctuary the vase was
found, but Burn argues against this. Pericay also suggested Chrysei was written
in error for Peitho. Burn suggests the intended name is Χρυση, who may have had
a sanctuary in Athens; she is a warrior goddess and Nike would be appropriate.
