Abstract

The main aim of this article is to share some
observations concerning a black figure cup-skyphos,
which can be seen in the “Black and Red Figure Section” of the current Antalya Archaeology Museum
Exhibition. The cup is catalogued by the number 27.25.
72 and is identified as a Pergamon find. It was donated
to Antalya Archaeology Museum, by the Ankara Archaeology Museum, in 1974. Since then, no further study
has been conducted. It is catalogued as a kylix, and dated to IVth century B.C. After a detailed description in
the first part of the paper, in the Comparison and Dating section, from the related examples in different
museums enables the Antalya skyphos to be attached to
ain a group, as well as to differentiate it from other contemporary vases. Having revised the date and defined
the shape of the Antalya example in these two sections,
leads to the Interpretation section. In this section the
connections, similarities and differentiations identified
in the previous chapter have been used to draw a conclusion that includes three more vases (two from the
Louvre and one from Adria) together with the Antalya
skyphos. The stylistic comparison and the analysis of
the painter’s artistic characteristics indicates that these
four vases, are very closely related to the Runners Painter, if they are not painted by him. In conclusion, this
article updates the information on an exhibited vase,
and adds this and three other vases to the catalogue associated with the Runners Painter.
