Kylix of the Six's Technique
Etruscan
Buff fabric with highly lustrous black slip. On the exterior of the cup, large palmettes flanked by spirals occupy the space below the cup's squared loop handles. On the front and back of the exterior are identical pairs of youths wearing fillets and standing to face each other. The youth on the right wears a cloak over his left shoulder and holds a strigil in his extended right hand. The youth on the left is nude and holds a branch in his left hand and a strigil in his right. On the interior of the cup, the tondo is framed by a circular maeander and cross band. Within this, two nude youths face each other with a small tree between them. The one on the left holds a wreath in his right hand and grasps the trunk of the tree in his left. The one on the right holds a wreath up in his right hand and a club in his left. The lip of the vessel is defined by a thin red strip. Reconstructed from several fragments.
