Terracotta kylix (drinking cup) ca. 510 Signed by Epiktetos Komast (reveler) with skyphos (deep drinking cup) and oinochoe (jug)Among the very early red-figure artists who specialized in kylikes, Epiktetos was one of the most accomplished. The ease of execution, combined with the elegant simplicity of the shape and decoration, represents Greek vase-painting at its finest. It is certainly intentional that the skyphos is so much larger than the oinochoe and that it is balanced on his Terracotta kylix (drinking cup). Greek, Attic. ca. 510 Terracotta; red-figure. Archaic.
