CAVI Lemma: BF amphora. Unattributed{1}. Andokides, potter. Third quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: A: chariot (the charioteer is bearded, with a Boeotian shield). B: similar,
but no shield; preceded by a man with wreath and branch (perhaps a victorious
chariot).
CAVI Inscriptions: A: between the left handle palmette and the chariot's lower left, facing out:
nonsense: hοινος[. To right of the charioteer's face: Ανδοκιδες. Below the
horses' bellies: εποιεσ[ε]ν{2}. At right, between the horses and palmette:
nonsense: πιοτσινσ.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} akin to Group E (Beazley). {2} the last letter in the ph. in the Bull. is
not an epsilon; an error in ABV (εποιεσε)?
CAVI Comments: Also listed as Bronxville, Bastis. The earliest signature of Andokides. It
seems to me that the two nonsense words play with the words οινος and εποιεσεν.
The vase was lent to the Met. Museum, number: L 64/31.
