Group of the Paidikos-Alabastra

Paidikos-Alabastron, signed by Pasiades, Paris, Louvre CA 1920

As a group of the Paidikos-Alabastra (English Group of the Paidikos Alabastra ) are a group of Attic Alabastra from the end of the 6th century BC. And their painters.

Nos. 1 to 6 are white-ground alabastra, nos. 7-27 are red-figure. Nos. 1 and 2 are signed by Pasiades as a potter and painted by a painter close to the Euergides painter , the Pasiades painter . Nos. 3 to 6 are purely floral with palmettes and come from a painter, of which No. 3 is signed by Pasiades. Of the red-figure copies, the copy Paris, Louvre CA 487 is signed by Paidikos as a potter, followed by the name of the group. John D. Beazley has considered whether Paidikos (translated "childish, boyish") was not just a nickname of the Pasiades, so it was only a person.
