Kylix Fragment with a Maenad and a Dove in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2009
Terracotta Kylix (drinking cup)
Greek, Attic, red-figure, ca. 510-500 BC
Attributed to the Poseidon Painter
Interior: Maenad with bird
Accession # 23.160.91
Like the cup by the Kiss Painter (07.286.50), this work was shaved down in antiquity. The iconography is interesting since maenads (female followers of Dionysos, the god of wine) are not commonly associated with birds. She seems to be letting a dove fly, much as Athena releases her owl.
