Bail amphora - a photo on Flickriver

Bail amphora

            Amphora with cylindrical neck and disc-shaped rim, distinct shoulder, ovoid body, disc-shaped foot, and a vertical handle arranged transversally on the mouth. 
Side A: the painting shows a naked satyr, with sandals and a cloak draped over one arm. He wears two garlands of ivy, one on his head and the other across his torso. He wears a bracelet on his wrist and a lace on his thigh. He holds a situla and a thyrsus. In the field, at the top, a dotted rosette, at the bottom, a cymbal; a branch and the design of the uneven ground indicate that the scene takes place outdoors.
Side B: female figure  portrayed in left profile, wearing a cloak and a diademe.
Extensive use of white and yellow overpainting. Palmette and racemes on both sides of the vase.
This vase is attributed to an artist near to the workshop of the so called “CA Painter”, a Campanian red-figure vase-painter whose name is unknown. Consistent individual stylistic characteristics of the survived artworks suggest the existence of an artistic personality operating at Cumae in the mid 4th century BC as founder of a vase painting style. Trendall called him the CA Painter because he was the chief painter in the first stage of Cumaean red-figure vase-painting, the initials standing for Cumaean (C), and first stage (A).
