Greek, Attic, red-figure ca 500 bce. Attributed to an artist near the Kleophrades Painter. Interior, symposiant Chiefly known for his work on pots, the Kleophrades Painter is also associated with kylikes both early and late in his career. The man depicted here holds a cup, presumably filled with wine, in his left hand. With the cup in his right he plays kottabos--and after-dinner pastime in which symposiasts (participants in a drinking party) knowcked the finials off lamp-stands with the lees remaining in the klykes.
