ATTRIBUTED TO THE TARAS PAINTER, CIRCA 575-550 B.C.

Two other Siana cups have been assigned to the Taras Painter, which similarly have four left-facing horsemen on one side of the exterior and three pairs of armed combatants on the other, including one formerly on the art market in New York and one in a Greek private collection (Beazley Archive Database nos. 551 and 7330). The latter, like the present example, features a horseman in the tondo.
