A South Italian red-figure column krater
Late 5th Century B.C.
Side A: a central figure of Apollo with long flowing corkscrew tresses, wearing a laurel wreath, holding a leafy branch in his left hand and phiale in his right, looking back towards an attendant woman on the left, her hair caught up in a sakkos, holding a black-glazed oinochoe, between them an altar with palm tree behind, to the right looking on a woman closely wrapped in her himation, holding a long scrolling tendril terminating in a bud. The neck with black-glazed ivy leaf tendrils interspersed with dotted berries
Side B: three youths wearing himations, the central youth looking back in conversation with a youth on the left who holds a staff in his right hand pointing his forefinger, a similar youth on the right who looks on leaning on his staff, the central and right youth with himation covering their heads. Neck black glazed
On both rims a black-figure animal frieze of two lions confronting two boars on each side. Both scenes surrounded by double-dotted vertical borders with tongued frieze framing the top
14½ in. (37 cm.) high
