ATTRIBUTED TO THE SABOUROFF CLASS, CIRCA 470 B.C.

The Sabouroff class of Attic head vases takes its name from the janiform example now in Berlin, previously in the Sabouroff collection. Beazley (Attic Red-figure Vase-painters, pp. 1544-1545) listed 27 examples juxtaposing a satyr's head and a woman's head, presumably a maenad. Closest in style to the example presented here is ARV 11, now in Tampa, no. 8 in P.J. Russell, Ceramics & Society, Making and Marketing Ancient Greek Pottery. The neck of ARV 11 does not have the red-figured draped youths as seen on this example.
