Ερυθρόμορφη οινοχόη του Μουσείου Καβάλας

Abstract

A RED-FIGURE OINOCHOE IN THE MUSEUM OF KAVALA (Plates 45-5 0, Fig. 1) A fragment of an oinochoe (mug shape VIII) but of an enormous size bearing on the neck the representation of satyrs and maenads. It was found in the sanctuary of the goddess Parthenos at Kavala. The author dates the fragment in the decade 400 - 390 B. G. and attributes it to the Painter of Louvre G 433 (see Beazley ARV2, Addenda I, p. 1691), although it is much more elaborate than any work of his known hitherto. The other vases of the painter named in Beazley’s ARV2 do not bear very directly upon the vase of Kavala.
