No C 44
Berlin, Charlottenburg F 1862
Black figure amphora (Brommer A!V, 12; Schneider no 25 ??)
A man, possibly Zeus, is seated on a folding stool.
He is represented with head and legs in profile to the right,
the body diagonally. Seated, he is almost as tall as the
surrounding standing figures. The right forearm is extended
almost horizontally forward, the left forearm is extended
obliquely upward, the hand holding a staff. The man has a
pointed beard and close-cropped hair with a taenia. His dress
consists of a chiton, which covers the right arm completely,
and a himation, which covers the left arm completely.
There are two figures at each side of the picture. At the
right stand a woman, the right arm extended obliquely
downward, with palm turned downward and extended fingers, the
left forearm extended almost horizontally forward, the hand
covered by the himation, and a man, with petasos, long hair, a
pointed beard, a staff and endromides, presumably Hermes. At
the left stand, a woman the right arm extended obliquely
downward, the hand holding the himation, the left forearm
extended obliquely upward with palm turned outward, and a man
dressed in a short chiton and a himation, with a spear and
endromides.
