Attributed to a painter related to the Lysippides Painter
3rd quarter of the sixth century BCE
Not on view
Restituted
This artwork was restituted in January 2024. It is no longer in the museum’s collection.
Athenian drinking cups of the sixth and fifth century B.C. were often suspended by one handle when not in use. The viewer enjoyed the decoration on the outside of the shape and, occasionally, on the underside of the foot. In this example, the foreparts of lions and griffins have been deployed to produce a dynamic pinwheel effect.
