Sotades Painter (fl. ca. 470-ca.450 BCE)
Red-figured rhyton (driking horn), signed by the potter Sotades, 470-460 BCE, from the Brygos tomb at Capua, Campania, Italy. The sphinx was coated in fine, white slip. The red-figure scenes on the cup show Kekrops, the legendary, snake-bodied king of Athens. The spout between the front legs of the sphinx was closed, probably with a finger, while the cup was filled and the wine then allowed to flow out, from a considerable height, into a cup or bowl below. GR 1873.8-20,265.
