Brygos cup of Würzburg

The Brygos Cup of Würzburg (de: Würzburger Brygosschale) is an Attic red-figure kylix from about 480 BC.

It once belonged to the Feoli collection, but today is in the Martin von Wagner Museum in Würzburg, where it has the inventory number HA 428 (= L 479).

The image in the bowl (tondo) shows a young participant at a symposium who is vomiting as a result of overindulgence.

The exterior shows a procession of revelers (komos), the boisterous event which occurred at the end of a symposion.

The komasts are largely naked, dressed in only a chlamys (cloak), and are crowned with grape vines.
