Terracotta kylix (drinking cup)
Interior, youth before unexplained structure
Exterior, obverse and reverse, colonnade with flute player flanked by youths
The structure in the tondo is clearly of wood, but its function remains unknown. The scenes on the exterior have been interpreted as a chorus of young men training for a public performance.
