Three fragments, probably from the same kylix. Fragment a (gift of P. Sharrer) is apparently from the opposite side from fragments b-c (gift of F. Schultz, by exchange with D. von Bothmer). On their interiors, all three preserve parts of the tondo frame, consisting of stopt maeanders to right with cross-squares. On the exteriors, all three have small areas of drapery of reclining symposiasts and sections of predella band with vases and boot in silhouette and letters from Kalos inscriptions. a: spout of phallic vessel; oinochoe fallen on its side. [KA]Λ[OS] b: boot; part of skyphos K[AΛ]OS c: kantharos; part of kylix
