CAVI Collection: Stanford, University Museum 70.12.
CAVI Lemma: RF volute krater{1}. Manner of Kleophon Painter (Cahn). Third quarter fifth.
Ca. 430 (Cahn).
CAVI Subject: A: Sending Out of Triptolemos in the winged chair: at left, Demeter seated,
with a companion pouring her a libation; at right, Kore (Persephone) pouring
into a phiale held by Triptolemos; another companion. B: Dionysiac thiasos: a
maenad playing the lyre; an old satyr; Dionysus; a maenad with an oinochoe.
Under the handles: between the maenad with the oinochoe and the seated Demeter:
Pan. Between Kore's companion and the lyre player: a satyr.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: Δεμετερ. Her companion: Παρθ[ενο]ς(?){2}. [Τ]ριπτολενς, for
[Τ]ριπτολε(μ)[ο]ς{2}. Miswritten. Κορε. Her companion: [--]ε[--]. B:
...αιτ..αλε-πομ..ς(?){3}. Διον[υσος]. Under the left handle: [Π]αν{4}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} somewhat fragmentary. {2} Cahn. {3} so Cahn's text. It is unclear how
these letters are to be divided among the first two figures: [--]αιτ[--](?).
(Κ)λε[ο]πομ[πο]ς(?). {4} ..αν, Cahn.
CAVI Comments: Ex Basel Market (M.M.). The two scenes are connected as being Eleusinian. The
inscriptions are very faint and hard to read. Attic alphabet.
