CAVI Subject: Komos: Int.: a seated man singing; youth playing the flutes for him. A-B:
komos: A: a youth playing flutes; lower part of a male leaning on his stick; a
door with one leaf open; anal(?) intercourse of a male and a hetaera. B: a
bearded man playing flutes; a naked hetaera dancing; a bearded komast with his
stick and a skyphos; a youth leaning on his stick.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: starting above the man's head and ending behind the youth's back,
widely spaced: hο πα[ι]ς καλος. A: to the flautist's right, widely spaced: hο ^
πα[ις ---]{2}. B: to right of the bearded komast's face (the one with the
skyphos): hο παις ^ κα^λ[ος]{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Williams: a fully mature work. In ARV[2] attributed to the manner of the
Foundry Painter: "They [this cup and Tarquinia RC 5291, q.v.] might be by the
Foundry Painter at the point of his career when he was nearest to the Brygos
Painter." Probably by the Foundry Painter (Robertson). {2} strings of a basket
intervene. {3} a flute case and the head of the youth at right intervene.
CAVI Comments: Clear letters, not much like the casual letters the Foundry Painter uses in
his nonsense inscriptions.
