Attic Red-Figure Kylix Fragment

Cup fragment preserving part of one handle. The fragment 83.AE.284.102 provides more of the tondo.Interior: in the tondo, the lower body and outstretched right hand of a figure (probably one of two) reclining on a kline (couch); the left leg of a table set in front of the kline also remains. The ground line is rendered with an ovolo pattern and the tondo border is a band of meander interspersed with cross-squares.Exterior: part of a symposium scene. A youth and a bearded man converse, each with a skyphos, as they recline against cushions upon a couch. Both wear fillets, and their lower bodies are swathed in drapery. Before the couch stands a low table, and a basket hangs at upper left. To the right is a nude youth, facing right and also wearing a fillet, who holds an oinochoe. It is likely that he attends to another pair of drinkers, who are now missing.Palmettes occupy the area around the handle. The rim is decorated with a cyma pattern. Below the figure-scene is a band of meander interspersed with cross-squares.
