the Brygos Painter
Greek
Early Classical Period
about 480–470 B.C.
Medium/Technique Ceramic, Red Figure
Dimensions Overall: 33.2 x 12 cm (13 1/16 x 4 3/4 in.)
Credit Line Bartlett Collection—Museum purchase with funds from the Francis Bartlett Donation of 1912

Description: An elegant woman is seated pulling out a skein of wook from her wool basket (kalathos). She wears earrings, bracelets on both arms, a diadem, and an Ionic chiton and himation. She has an elaborate hairstyle, with part of her hair tied up in a bun, and long strands pulled down in the front. She pulls a long strip of wool out of a basket on ground before her. A hair-bag (sakkos) and mirror are hung up in field. The mirror is decorated with a head in profile drawn in outline, which probably represents a relief on the back of the mirror. The object hanging off her chair may be a wool-carder. Above her in the field is the Greek inscription: "the girl [is pretty])" (HE PAIS KALE).
Inscriptions: "The girl [is pretty])" (HE PAIS [KALE]).
