Terracotta kylix: band-cup (drinking cup)
Signed by Hischylos
Obverse and reverse, frontal quadriga between youths and inscription: Hischylos made [me]
The band-cup was produced concurrently with the lip-cup; the two shapes are often designated Little-Master cups owing to their small scale. The later band-cups often have more ambitious compositions than occur on lip-cups. The subject here is a quadriga, a four-horse chariot, seen from the front. Artistically, the perspective advances beyond the profile horsemen favored by Lydos.
