Last Recorded Collection: Kiel, Antikensammlung: B456
CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF skyphos. Painter of Nicosia Olpe (Freyer-Schauenburg). Third
quarter sixth. 540-530 (Freyer-Schauenburg).
CAVI Subject: Fr. 456: A: arming: in the center, a youth putting on his greaves; at left, a
bearded man(1) and two other males with spears; at right, a woman(1) and two
youths with spears. Fr. 456a: B: arming: part of a leg with a greave; helmet.
CAVI Inscriptions: Fr. 456: A: to right of the youth's raised knee: a short row of 5(?) small
dots, very close together. Diagonally downward from youth's crotch: a similar
row of 6 dots.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} father and mother?
CAVI Comments: It is unclear whether the rows are meant to simulate inscriptions (reduced to
ornaments, F.-S.). The position is very odd. F.-S. cites a parallel at Brauron,
Para. (1971), 196/8 quater, by the same painter. Not in Beazley.
