Terracotta kylix (drinking cup). Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: H. 2 11/16 in. (6.8 cm.)Diameter 7 3/16 in. (18.3 cm.). Date: ca. 535-500 B.C..This cup shares some of the characteristics of both band cups and eye cups but also represents individual features, creating an unusual hybrid. As is typical of eye cups, a gorgoneion is depicted on the interior of the vase, and eyes, intended to ward away evil, are placed at the handles instead of palmettes. As is common on band cups, on the handle zone, a figural scene depicts a nude youth chasing a lion. But unlike either eye or band cups, the foot of the vase is without a stem and in the form of a disk. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
