DÁGI, MARIANNA: 'Tinkers' and 'Patchers': Some Notes on the Ancient Repairs of Greek Vases

20. c Completion indicating channel on the right handle. Budapest, Museum of Fine Arts other is 1 cm in distance up (ca. 2.5 mm in diameter). The plaster completion on the right side of the handle does not indicate a place of any ancient repair either by its position or its form, and there are no such traces on its opposite side either. The shape of the plaster completions allows us to conclude that the krater was repaired in Antiquity by a method using staples and channels. *13. South Italian red-figure epichysis (figs. 21. a-d) Inv. no. 51.231. Apulia (Menzies group?, about 340-320 BC?), or Lucania (Metaponto). Second half of the 4

th century. H.: 15.3 cm; foot: 10.6 cm in diameter; shoulder: 11.2 cm in diameter. Unpublished. Restored: the neck is completed and the handle is stuck together. The surface is worn. The upper part of the handle and a piece of the rim around the shoulder are missing. Epichysis with fusiform body. Seated Eros with a ball (?) and a phiale. Eros is seated on the shoulder of the vase, leaning on his left hand and holding a phiale. Behind his left hand there is an object, perhaps a ball. He wears a sakkos, and there is a rosette before him. From the join of the handle palmettes are spindling on the shoulder of the vessel. An egg pattern runs on the rim around the shoulder, and there is a ray pattern at the bottom of the neck. A laurel wreath turns right on the body of the vase.
