Mnesia dresses

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mnesikleides is the name of a person from Athens , behind whom an Attic vase painter of the black-figure style was suspected for a long time .

A fragmented name inscription on the foot of a c. 550/40 BC. Ball aryballos ( Archaeological National Museum Athens , inventory number 1055 [CC 669]) was added to Μνεσ [ικλε] ῖδης. This inscription was interpreted as the signature of the vase painter. However, the aryballos, which was found in Petreza and is decorated with a frieze of men and women as well as a sphinx and a gorgoneion on the handle, was painted by the vase painter Kealtes , as his signature on the vessel (ΚΕΑΛΤΕΣ ΕΓΡΑΦΣΕΝ) attests. Mnesikleides was the donor of the vessel, the inscription is as “Kealtes painted (me). Mnesikleides gave (me) to Phocis “to translate.
