| AUTHOR | Nikosthenes Painter - Greece |
| MATERIAL | Ceramic - red-figure high-handled cup (kantharos) |
| SIZE | 16,2 cm (6" 3/8) tall without handles; 24 cm (9" 7/16) tall with handles; 28 cm (11") diameter |
| LOCATION | USA - Boston - Museum of Fine Arts |
| NOTES | Said to have been found at Vulci, Italy. One of the two sides shwows one of the more explicit gay sex scenes. The young man in the middle is holding a double-headed dildo, like the one hanging on the wall. On the floor are shoes and a basin, and on the wall are a birdcage, a flute case, and a dildo. Such explicit scenes are quite rare, or at least, not easily reproduced nowadays, because of the (average) puritanical attitude of Museums' curators and Art historians. |
