19. a Fragment of an Attic red-figure crater with a modern hole. Budapest, Museum of Fine Arts Fragment of an Attic red-figure krater 75 (figs. 19. a-b) Inv. no. 51.29. Around 450-440 BC (?). From the collection of Antal Haan. H.: 9.7 cm; W.: 7,1 cm; estimated diameter of the body: 31 cm. Unpublished. At the upper edge of the fragment there is a meander line with blackened saltire square. The upper part of a woman (Artemis) turning left can be seen under it. She rises her right arm with a gesture. She wears a chiton, himation, necklace and diadem. There is a rectangular object at her left shoulder (a quiver?) and a detail of a stick or a bow behind. 76 Painted with relief line: the diadem, the eye, the eyebrow, the ear, the details of the hand, the folds of the dress, the two angular lines on the stick and the bordering lines of the meander (two above and two under it). Painted with diluted brown: the vertical lines on the diadem, the lips, the necklace, the broader strip on the edge of the himation, the lines and dots on the quiver. It must be a fragment of a double register calyx krater similar to the name-vase of the Nekyia Painter. On the krater in the Metropolitan Museum's collection the lower register is bordered with a pattern of St. Andrew's crosses and meander combination. (Inv. no. 08.258.21; Beazley, ARV 2, 1086; Richter, G.M.A. - Hall, L.F., Red-figured Athenian Vases in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New Haven 1936, 168-171, no. 135, 135-137, pi. 170). The fragment of the Museum of Fine Arts could be a piece of the lower register. Because of the position of the figure close to the meander pattern and the estimated original size this fragment cannot be the part of the decoration under the rim.
