Lot Essay

The tondo of this kylix features a young cavalryman dressed in Thracian garb, including embades (boots) and an alopekis (cap), holding a pelta shield at his left shoulder, with a horse before him. On the exterior are four youths, two draped and two nude, with two horses on either side and a column to the far left of one side. For another cup also by the Painter of Berlin 2268 with the same decorative scheme, now in a Private Collection, Florida, see no. 29 in P. Schertz and N. Stribling, eds., The Horse in Ancient Greek Art.
