GREEK BLACK FIGURE KYLIX WITH KOMASTHOI - Ca. 550 - 500 BC. A beautiful kylix, with a lip more defined than the rest of the body, standing on a hollow conical pedestal foot with a broad reserved band.

A concentric circle adorns the tondo, as is customary for Attic ware. For similar see: Christie's, Live Auction 19738, Antiquties, Lot 57.  Size: 2295mm x 125mm; Weight: 460g.
