South Italian Kylix with Eyes in the Getty Villa, July 2008
Wine Cup with Eyes
Greek, made in Rhegion, South Italy, about 520 BC
Terracotta
Black-figured kylix attributed to the Phineus Painter
Inventory # 86.AE.50
The thin-walled bowl and sharply edged foot of this wine cup were derived from prototypes in metal. When the drinker raised the vessel to his lips, the stylized eyes, nose, and ears provided a temporary mask that was thought to guard against evil spirits and call to mind Dionysos ( god of wine and theater).
