Attributed to the Deepdene Painter
Circa 470 B.C.
One side with Eos pursuing a young hunter, perhaps Kephalos, the youth running to the right but looking back at his pursuer, wearing a cap, a mantle and leggings, holding his spear horizontally in his left hand, the goddess gripping the bicep of his raised right arm, clad in a long striped chiton patterned with X's, and a himation, her hair bound in a ribbon, her wings upraised; the other side with a two-figure departure scene, a youth to the right and a bald older man on the left, the youth wearing a short chiton and a mantle, holding an enormous shield with a bearded snake as the device, a spear over his shoulder, gripping the cheek-guard of his crested helmet before him, the old man wearing a himation and low shoes, holding a staff, and extending his right hand towards the youth; a band of meander and saltire squares below the scenes, a band of dotted tongues on a raised molding below the rim, the handles framed by applied flanges in imitation of bronze, two reserved bands on the interior below the rim
