Lot Essay

The obverse of this pelike depicts Hera, holding a scepter, and Hebe, the goddess of youth and cupbearer to the deities of Mount Olympos, who presents a phiale in each outstretched hand. Beazley (op. cit.) categorized the Painter of Passeri 210 as a "painter of other small pots." His contemporaries, including the Erichthonios and Phrixos Painters, specialized in the decoration of small pelikai.
