PROVENANCE

fun fact:
Originally from a different kylix, this handle tip was used in a modern repair.
digital description:
Although very similar to the ancient handle tip that it was used to replace, the drill holes in this fragment suggest that it was attached in modern times (before 1915). It was removed during an extensive conservation treatment in 1990.
wall description:
Greek men enjoyed evenings of wine, poetry, music, and other entertainment at each other's homes. Their favorite drinking cup was the shallow kylix. The user could enjoy the scene on the inside only after draining the cup. His companions could see the exterior scenes as he drank. Here the subject matter includes the Greek god of wine, Dionysos, and mythical companions.
