CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Douris (Guy){1}. First quarter fifth. 500-490 (CVA). Early (Guy).
CAVI Subject: Int.: writing lesson: a bearded man, with the himation around his lower body,
is seated on a stool, with tablets on his knee and holding the stylus to his
lips (in thought). At right, a youth is looking at a tablet. At the far right, a
flute case. Ext.: plain.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: behind the man's back: Παμμαχος καλος.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Schefold attributed the shape to the `Apollodoros Group' and the painting
to the Epidromos Painter, Guy (in a letter) to early Douris. Robertson thinks
perhaps by the Elpinikos Painter.
CAVI Comments: School scene? The teacher is considering what the boy has written
(Robertson). I.e., a teacher is checking a writing exercise. For the Pammachos
vases see Basel BS 471.
