CAVI Lemma: RF pyxis. From Attica. Unattributed. Last quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Three women moving toward a door, followed by a flying Eros.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the door lintel, in brown: Τα̣λ̣(α)ος εποιησε.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Bea. Arch. reads : T[AL]AOS, etc. No indication that the signature is
considered false.
CAVI Comments: Ex Baltimore, D.M. Robinson. The inscription is definitely false. The reading
Ταλαος is also doubtful, as the first letter need not be a tau. Beazley merely
says: "the inscription is said in the text to be genuine." He does not include
the signature in ARV[2].
CAVI Number: 5102
