The Triptolemos Painter, who takes his name from a vase depicting the departure of the demi-god Triptolemos, started his career as a cup-painter but later turned his hand to a variety of vase shapes.

Beazley admired for his “accomplished, strong, pure” expression of late Archaic art.
In the tondo of this elegant kylix is an arming scene within a band of meander. On the left stands a warrior, wearing a short chiton and breastplate, holding a sword in his left hand. He leans forward to accept a spear from a boy, who holds a circular shield with a snake as the blazon. To the left of the warrior is a crested Corinthian helmet hanging on a hook.
