CAVI Subject: A: Athena to right between columns on which stand Nikai with torches. B:
Athletes, youths, victors: one leaning on a column, one with branches, sash and
staff; Nike with a sash.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} spelling and alphabet not given in Bea. Arch.
CAVI Comments: A recent acquisition, announced by M. True in a 1995 lecture in Athens (from
which Valavanis' information). Valavanis 89 points out that Athena facing right
does not appear before the prize Panathenaics of the archon Kallimedes (360/59),
which is confirmation of the view that the competition was for Panathenaics not
of the next Panathenaea but the second following. - This is a prize vase,
probably a competition sample as no athla inscription is mentioned.
