- CAVI Collection: Athens, N.M. 1182.
- CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. From Attica. Group of Polygnotos. Third quarter fifth.
- CAVI Subject: A: Paris and Helen?{1}. (Seated woman and youth with spears, petasos, and
chlamys; at left, a girl with a chest; at right, a girl with oinochoe and
phiale; kalathos). B: three youths.
- CAVI Inscriptions: A: above the girl at left: (κ)α̣(λ)(ε){2}. Above the seated woman:
(υ)α̣(.)α̣(χ){3}. Above the girl at right: traces of an inscription{4}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} uncertain, Beazley. {2} or (κ)α̣(λ)(η). The kappa with a short parallel
stroke; alpha lacks the cross stroke; lambda, two short parallel strokes;
epsilon smeared, could also be eta. This looks like an imitation of καλη. {3} my
reading is of misshapen letters; the `alpha' is like that in the first
inscription. CC gives Υ(Γ)... and thinks probably Υγιεια, which is not right.
Nonsense? {4} `Paris' apparently not inscribed.
- CAVI Comments: Inscriptions in applied pink. Unclear whether the alphabet is Attic or Ionic.
- CAVI Number: 0748
