CAVI Collection: London B 507.
CAVI Lemma: BF oinochoe. From Vulci. Unattributed; Keyside Class. Early fifth.
CAVI Subject: Forge: one male working on each side.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the left side of the forge, starting at the top of the left margin, facing it, and continuing to the right of the crouching bearded man (the last word is written separately above him): hο :* Μυς | καλ̣ος :* δοκει, | ναι. To right of the forge, three nonsense inscriptions: above the man's head: five letters, beginning λο... Starting to left of the man's mouth: hευυα̣(.)ει, retr. Behind his back: an inscription ending in ...ν.
CAVI Comments: Two of the nonsense inscriptions do not show well in the photo. The kalos could be a (young?) worker (perhaps a slave) or an aristocratic youth (nick name?). See also Webster.
