Red-Figure Skyphos Fragment (part of ). Attributed to Kleophrades Painter (Greek (Attic), active 505 - 475 ) about 480–470 Exterior: drapery of a female figure, her chiton visible at the center, framed on either side by parts of her cloak. At the top edge of the fragment are the remains of the fingers of two hands arranged in a handshake gesture. At the very top right corner of the fragment is a touch of the lower contour of an arm, which goes with the outstretched arm of a seated figure on a joining fragment in Leipzig. Interior: black. This fragment belongs to a partially reconstructed skyphos () that depicts on side A: Peleus and Thetis, with their child Achilles, meeting Cheiron, in the company of Apollo, and on side B: a priest holding a temple key and a staff, a woman shaking hands with a seated figure, and two standing figures—perhaps the priest Chryses meeting Agamemnon to recover his daughter Chryseis (see Williams, 1997, who also notes other joining fragments in Leipzig). This fragment belongs to side B and gives the drapery of Chryseis and her farewell handshake with Agamemnon.
