CAVI Lemma: RF alabastron. Unattributed. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: At extreme left: a small female servant to right, holding out an alabastron;
a young woman, seated to right, holds out a wreath; on her right, a kalathos; at
right, a youth faces
CAVI Inscriptions: Above the kalathos, near left-aligned nonstoich. two-liner: hε νυμφε |
καλε{1}. . . . . . . . . . . . To right of the youth's lower body, vertically
down, nearly left-aligned and nearly oblique stoich. two-liner: Τιμοδεμος |
καλ^ος. . . . . . . . . . . . . ^ . {1}. The name fits the existing space
exactly.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} slightly differently in de Ridder. κα[λε], ARV[2].
CAVI Comments: Beazley (1931a) points out that νυμφη here means the new bride (`Die
Neuvermählte'). The Timodemos without καλος on Louvre C 11,930 is later and
another person (ARV[2], ibid.). - A bridal scene: I have a note from Rebeca
Hague-Sinos' ms. of her book on weddings (ch. 8, n. 34), which has now been
published (with Oakley): ill. in fig. 12. The vase gives the groom's name [as a
kalos] but not that of the bride. The name of the bride should not be mentioned:
D. Schaps, CQ 1977, 323-30. A.H. Sommerstein, Quaderni di Storia 11 (1980)
393-409. H. assumes tag-kalos.
