CAVI Collection: Paris, Louvre F 226.
CAVI Lemma: BF neck amphora. From Vulci. Swing Painter. Third quarter sixth. Phase I (Böhr).
CAVI Subject: A: Poseidon and a giant. B: Aphrodite(?) holding two children between two columns, each of which is surmounted by an owl{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: nonsense: five straight lines of dots: to left of Poseidon's mid-section: 8 dots. To left of his upper right arm: 9 dots. Between his legs: 5 dots. To right of the rock carried by Poseidon on his shoulder: 7 dots. To right of the giant's right arm: 7 dots.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so ABV; CVA: Latona with Apollo and Artemis.
CAVI Comments: The dots are thicker and in straighter lines compared to Cincinnati 1959.1 and Baltimore, Walters 48.2127. [This does not seem to be a function of chronology if Böhr's phases are right.] On p. 62 n. 82, Böhr says that dots are the only form of inscription by the Swing Painter (she does not attribute London B 144 to him); she cites seven vases.
