CAVI Lemma: RF bell krater. Pothos Painter. End of fifth (Eichler). Ca. 420 (Bérard).
CAVI Subject: A: a seated girl playing the flutes and a female pyrrhichist between two
youths; above the flautist, a small temple front;(1) further to right, a cross.
B: three youths.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: beside the flautist: καλι. (Miswritten?) Other inscriptions are said to be
illegible. Under the foot, Grr.: a line divides the bottom in two halves; on one
side, Φ ΙΙΙΙΙΙ. On the other: ΙΙΙΙΙ. (Numerals 6 and 5.)
CAVI Footnotes: {1} called a bird cage in form of a temple by Bérard; this makes sense.
CAVI Comments: Listed in `Images' as Vienna I 6788. Done from the text. The inscriptions are
in white. Notes from Bérard: the ph. in `Images' shows imitation inscriptions:
above the left youth, horizontal, at least five letters; to right of the
flautist's top of head, horizontal: at least four letters, the first in shape of
a quotation mark (") [this is probably the inscription formerly read καλι in
CAVI]; there are also two imitation letters, horizontal, visible to right of the
pediment of the bird cage, the second = "; under the cross and to left of the
pyrrhicist's back of head, nearly horizontal, an imiation inscription of 5
letters; it ends close to the youth at left. Theinscriptions show only very
faintly.
