Kittos group
The Kittos group is a group of Attic vase painters who lived around 370 to 360 BC. Chr. Panathenaic prize amphorae produced.
On the Beazley vases No. 2 to 4 the Archon Polyzelos (367/66 BC) is named as the commissioning officer, No. 1 shows the potter's signature of the potter Kittos instead of the official inscription , which is probably the sample for Obtaining the official order for the price amphorae of the Panathenaia . No. 5 is a somewhat smaller pseudo price amphora.
