CAVI Lemma: BF band cup. From Rhodes. Elbows Out. Third quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: Handle zone: A: duel of two nude warriors; naked youth rushing between them;
at left, a draped youth. B: similar.
CAVI Inscriptions: Handle zone: horizontal, at mid-height: A: between the left handle palmette
and the youth: χ(α)ιρε. Between the right warrior and the right-hand palmette:
και πι[ει]. B: in the same positions: χαιρ(ε) and και π[ιει].The words on A and
B fill the empty spaces exactly.
CAVI Comments: Both inscriptions complete (Beazley). - An attempt to use lip-cup type
inscriptions on a figured band cup? Cf. the lip cups Munich 2151 [[CAVI 5224]]
and Limassol, Kakoyiannis [[4214]], both attributed to Elbows Out by Fellmann.
Threatte (1996) thinks the inscriptions are intentionally shortened for lack of
space.@@[[Diameter: 193.]]
