Info about artworkdescription: Pamphaios, one of the premier potters of Athens in this period, made this elegantly shaped "kylix" and signed his name around the thin edge of the foot. Another artist, known as the Nikosthenes Painter, depicted a festive celebration of manhood in the chain of young warriors that runs around the vase's exterior. Each warrior carries his helmet and bears a shield with a unique emblem. The single figure in the "tondo" (circular area) of the vase's interior has a skillfully drawn a scorpion on his shield.

Home page Info about artworkdescription: The tondo of the kylix shows a youthful warrior with long curly hair. He is nude except for his Attic helmet and holds a spear and a large round shield decorated with a horse, of which only the back is visible. He seems to be running from an enemy on the left: his head, shield, and spear are turned backwards (left), while he is fleeing in the opposite direction. The artist skillfully explores the various angles of the twisted body and fits it nicely into the circular shape of the tondo. The inscription in red translates to: "the boy is beautiful."
