Label Text
Sides A and B: Banquet or symposium scene
Interior: Female head
On both sides of this cup, pairs of men recline on couches; in front of each couch is a table heaped with meat and bread. Though the guests recline like symposiasts, no wine is depicted, so the occasion may be a communal meal rather than a symposium. (Jessica Powers 2008)
