Lot Essay

For similar dancing revelers as seen on one side of the amphora presented here, compare pls. 68B and 69B in E. Böhr, Der Schaukelmaler, especially the latter for the presence of the unusual pointed cap on the left-most figure. Similar combats as found on the other side are frequent on the Swing Painter's vases.
