The profiles of two pyxKles by the Phiale Painter (nos. 1 and 2)
a~ c1~ly akin. The shallov.' concave curve of the wall is much
stttngthened 31 the base and the lid extends further than the
lo.....er keel. The upper surfa~ of the lid of Athens 1587 (no. I. PI.
77.11 is flat in contrast to Ihal of no. 2 (Athens 1588. PI. 77.21.
whose domed contour recalls the outline of lids of type C. Knobs
in the form of pomegranates crown the Iids. u Most curious is the
form of the foot. whose low convex ring is connected by a curved
contour line to the outer ed~ of the lower keel. A comparable
foot type may be found on cenain pyxides of type C. n
Despite the similarity of the profiles of nos. I and 2. the choice
and placement of pattern bands differs. Tongues ornament the lid
flange and lower keel of Athens 1587. while on Athens 1588 the
lid flange is merely glazed and the lower keel has an egg and dot
border. In addition the lid pattern bands differ. The two pyxides
date ca. 430 8.C.
No. 3 (Chicago 92.125. PI. 77.3). by the Euaion Pailller. has a
prolile almost identical with that of no. I. In addition the choice
and placement of pauern bands are the same. The measurements
of no. 3 are closer to those for the Class of Berlin 3308 and it is
interesting to compare the latest example of that class, Athens
1586 (PI. 65.1) also by the Euaion Painter. with this pyxis. The ring
foot of Athens 1586 is connected to the lower flange by a sloping
line. The foot type of nos. 1·3 appears to be an exaggeration and
articulation of features present in Athens 1586 and the key piece
of the Class of Berlin 3308. No. 3 may therefore be seen as a
connecting link betv.een the Class of Berlin 3J08 and the 1""0
ppide!i by the Phiale Painter. The Chicago pyxis dates ca. 440
D.e. or slightly thereafter.
