- CAVI Lemma: RF bell krater. Polygnotos. Third quarter fifth. Ca. 450-440.
- CAVI Subject: A: citharode with two men and a youth. B: three youths.
- CAVI Inscriptions: A: between the head of the man at left and the back of the citharode's head:
καλος. Above the seated man and to left of the youth's face, horizontally in two
lines: Nικομα[χο]ς | κ[α]λος.
- CAVI Comments: The restoration Nικομα[χο]ς is Beazley's; see ARV[2] 1602, where the name
Nikomachos is cited from a stamnos in Villa Giulia 3584, also by Polygnotos
(ARV[2] 1028/15). [This is probably an error for London E 454, ARV[2] 1028/14.]
Beazley also points out that the missing alpha in κ[α]λος is thought to be
behind a spear. Disjointed letters and miswritten inscriptions.
