Fragments of a terracotta kylix (drinking cup)

Attributed to Euthymides

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Exterior, gods in Olympos

Though fragmentary, the cup is exceedingly significant. It is signed by Euthymides as both painter and potter. None of the figural decoration of the interior is preserved, but the surviving pieces show that it was covered with a coral red slip. The subject of the exterior may have been the birth of Athena.
The other fragments belonging to the cup are 1982.386 and L.1983.49, lent by the Monumenti, Musei e Gallerie Pontificie.
