White-Ground Lekythos Attributed to the Achilles Painter in the British Museum, May 2014
Object type: lekythos
Museum number: 1893,0917.1
Description
Pottery: White-ground lekythos.
Offerings at tomb. The stele is a slender shaft reaching to the upper border, surmounted by a necking and a diminutive pediment, and resting on one tall plinth on which is laid a taenia drawn in brown outline, with a hatched pattern. On the left is a youth in a chlamys with petasos at his back, holding a spear upright in his right. On the right is a youth in an himation, holding in front of him a purse (?) hanging from a string in his right hand. On left of the upper part of the stele is a soul, eidolon (εΐδωλον), represented as a minute winged figure drawn in sketchy brown silhouette; it flies towards the stele, pointing to it with left arm extended and right hand raised to its head with a gesture of sorrow.
Brown outline; hair in black stippling on brown; chlamys vermilion; himation purple; both have folds in black; in the purple the sketch-marks show; the taeniae round the stele are alternately black and vermilion. Eye in profile. Above, maeander broken by dotted cross squares; on the shoulder, three palmettes (alternate petals red) and egg pattern, all black on white.
