Terracotta kylix (drinking cup), Archaic, ca. 535-500 B.C. Greek, Attic, Terracotta; black-figure, H. 2 11/16 in. (6.8 cm.), Vases, This cup shares some of the characteristics of both band cups and eye cups but also represents individual features, creating an unusual hybrid. As is typical of eye cups, a gorgoneion is depicted on the interior of the vase, and eyes, intended to ward away evil, are placed at the handles instead of palmettes.
