Summary

Description
English: Pederastic scene.

Bell krater.

Above the designs, laurel-wreath; below, maeander and crosses; below the handles, palmettes.

(a) Erastes-scene: On the left is a youth, ityphallic, seated on a chair to right, with radiated fillet and drapery under him, left arm placed behind his head; his feet rest on a footstool. A more youthful figure, with radiated fillet, the ends of which hang down, climbs on to the chair, on which his left foot is placed, with the aid of a staff in his left hand. On the right is a Doric column, beyond which a bearded middle-aged man stands looking on, with a white fillet, the ends of which hang down, himation over left shoulder, and right hand on knee; behind him is a doorway, with a half-door over which a youth in a himation is leaning, looking to left. Within is seen the upper part of the door in perspective, turned back on its hinge; on both parts are broad black bands studded with large white nails.

(b) Three ephebi conversing, wearing fillets and wrapped in himatia; the central figure stands to right, and the one on the right extends right hand as if speaking. Behind the central figure hangs an aryballos.
