  • CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Apollodoros. First quarter fifth. 490-480 (Ferrari).
  • CAVI Subject: Int.: a naked girl holding out a plemochoe; a naked girl squatting in front of her, plucking out her pubic hair{1}. Ext.: plain.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: on the standing girl's upper right, but at a distance, along the margin, the plemochoe causing a break: hο παις ^ καλος.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} Descoeudres' interpretation from a parallel in Basel BS 423, RF lekythos, CVA, Switzlerland 4, pl. 56,10, accepted by Ferrari. Beazley only says: naked girl holding a perfume-vase, and another naked girl squatting and touching her. If Descoeudres' interpretation is wrong this could be a lesbian scene if there are such.
