Red-Figure Cup

The primary record for a cup reconstructed from fragments. On the interior a man propositions a woman. At the left, the man supports himself on a knotty stick and leans toward the woman, who wears a chiton, himation, and slippers. On either side of the figures are various objects, including a phormiskos (pear-shaped vessel), a wool basket, a dipper, and the foot of a bed with a striped mattress. Above the bed is a hanging lotus. The tondo border is a meander pattern with cross-squares. On the exterior are pairs of standing figures, men or youths and women.
