CAVI Lemma: RF pointed amphora. From Vulci. Copenhagen Painter. First quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: Dionysus making a libation with the assistance of a nymph. B: two nymphs holding flowers.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to right of the nymph's middle: Nυνφαια. Between the figures: hο παις καλος. To left of Dionysus' middle, retr.: Διονυσος. B: between the nymph's upper body, retr.: Καρτον καλος. Lower down: καλε, ναιχι{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} not in Smith's dr., nor in CVA's photo. Should refer to one of the nymphs.
CAVI Comments: Threatte (1996), referring to Smith's Cat. iii, p. 234, thinks Nυνφαια is here a name for Ariadne, and not an alternative for νυμφη. Dotted delta. Attic alphabet with some four-stroke sigmas.
