Literature
Cf. Snyder Schaeffer, J., Ramage, H.N., Greenewalt, C.H. Jr., The Corinthian, Attic and Lakonian Pottery from Sardis, London, 1997, fragments ATT 36 and ATT 73, for similar.
Footnotes
The body of the panther resembles the style of the school of Sophilos, an Attic painter active circa 580-560 B.C. The naked image (a dancing satyr?) recalls the Attic black figure depictions of ithyphallic satyrs, with torso, arms, legs and incision for internal details in white paint, made around 500 B.C.
