from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anakles ( ancient Greek Ἀνακλῆς ) was a Greek potter who lived in the 3rd quarter of the 6th century BC. Was active in Athens, he is one of the minor masters .

A ribbon bowl from him in Berlin, Antikensammlung F 1801 (lost in war) is known, which he signed together with the potter Nikosthenes , in whose workshop he apparently worked. Other signed works are fragments of peripheral bowls in Florence, Museo Archeologico, Leipzig, Antikenmuseum and a peripheral bowl in private Swiss ownership (formerly Paris, Morin-Jean collection). In addition, two fragments from the excavation of Bayraklı ( Old Smyrna ) are ascribed to him.
