Attributed to the Tleson Painter
Attributed to Tleson
Obverse, siren and panther;
Reverse, two sphinxes
The band-cup was produced concurrently with the lip-cup. The
two shapes are often designated "Little Master cups," owing
to their small scale. Some artists, such as Tleson and his
painter-collaborator, worked on both shapes. the ban-cup is
a darker vase than the lip cup, with the decoration confined
to a clay-colored zone between the handles. The motifs,
however, tend to be similar.
