Fragmentary Attic Red-Figure Kylix, about 510 BC. Wine Cup with Scenes from the Destruction of Troy. Additional Info: The interior of this cup is decorated with a reserved tondo border, inside of which is a woman striding to the right, but looking left. She wears a diadem and spiral bracelets, the latter in added red. In her right hand she carries a hydria and in her left, a cushion for carrying the vessel on her head. There is an inscription in the field,'Memnon is beautiful.' The exterior is decorated with a series of scenes from the sack of Troy. Three palm trees serve to separate the vignettes. The cup has been reassembled from fragments. Neither the foot nor handles have been reconstructed.
