Ca. mid-6th cent. BCE.
Inv. No. 4209.
Florence, National Archaeological Museum
(Firenze, Museo archeologico nazionale di Firenze).
Origin:
Production of Athens, ca. 565 BCE. Was found by Alessandro François, official archeologist of the Great Toscan Duke Leopold II, in 1884-85 in Chiusi in a tomb of an etruscan princess in the Fonterotella necropolis.
Description:
At the center of the scene is the centaur Petraios, holding a branch, fighting a Lapith named Hoplon; Hoplon is fully armed, like the other Lapiths, and wields a spear in his right hand. To his right is another centaur, Melanchaites (?), who hurls a rock at a Lapith; beneath Melanchaites is a fallen centaur, Pyrrhos.
To the left: a part of scene with three centaurs, Hylaios, Agrios and Hasbolos, are pounding Kaineus into the ground.
Rim B: a line of seven youths and seven maidens dancing the Crane Dance (Geranos). The youths wear mantles with various borders; the maidens, peploi with different decorations. The dancers are all labelled: from left to right, Phaidimos, Hippodameia, Daduchos (written Daidochos), Menestho, Eurysthenes, Koronis, Euxistratos (written Heuxsistratos), Damasistrate, Antiochos, Asteria, Hermippos (written Hernipo), Lysidike, Prokritos, and Eriboia (written Epihoia).
