CAVI Subject: A flying Eros pouring a libation on an altar.
CAVI Inscriptions: Around the upper part of the figure, starting above the right wing: [κ]αλος.
CAVI Comments: S. refers the inscription to the Eros. - Most inscriptions on vases by the
Bowdoin Painter are nonsense, frequently involving sigmas. But London
1906.12-15.5 has κα[λο]ς, and Oxford 265, WG, seems to have Nι[κε]. Both also
have nonsense.
