A musician, playing a double-pipe (aulos) and wearing a sleeveless patterned tunic over a long-sleeved, similarly-patterned tunic, provides a rhythm for a javelin thrower. A cheek-strap (phorbeia) supports his instrument.

The stem is hollow and continues upward inside to the level of the rim. The cup could be filled through the stem, and, once filled, could be emptied only through the mouthpiece. The vessel was lowered, right side up, into a krater of wine until the stem was covered. The hollow stem filled up with wine, which then flowed into the inner compartment. When the cup was held in a horizontal position ready for drinking, the wine could not flow out through the foot because the top of the hollow stem was high above the level of the wine.On top are seven nude, athletes moving counterclockwise. A long-bearded, balding judge with a himation over his shoulder to the left of the spout places a ribbon in added white over the first of the athletes. Another white ribbon flutters from the athlete's arm, a red fillet is tied around his right thigh, and he holds a red aryballos in his left hand. Behind him, a beardless youth with a himation over his shoulder plays the double flute. The following athletes originally had fillets in either added red or added white around their heads. The white is missing on the fifth and seventh athletes . The third, fifth, and seventh athletes are beardless; the first, second, and fourth are bearded.Between the figures are the inscriptions "the boy/(is) beautiful/the girl/(is) beautiful/the boy/ (is) beautiful/the girl/(is) beautiful/indeed": In the center a bearded mask (Silenos?) is surrounded by a dotted band with three outer and three inner bounding circles.The lower part of the cup is undecorated.The foot has been broken from the stem and reattached.http://collections.mfa.org/objects/153464/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/891467/resize%3Aformat%3Dfull"Deux Costumes de Sport," advertisement from Gazette du Bon Ton, Volume 1, No. 9, p. 287July 1913Librairie Centrale des Beaux-artsPhotomechanical lithograph with hand-applied color (pochoir)http://collections.mfa.org/objects/447153/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/836416/resize%3Aformat%3DfullDrinking cup (kylix) depicting a boxerabout 500 B.C.OnesimosCeramic, Red FigureInterior: Athlete (nude youth) binding his hands for boxing.

A: A youth wearing a white, apicate fillet, a loincloth edged with yellow dots, shoes, and a yellow belt stands to the left, his right foot on a rock. With his right hand he holds out a white fillet and with his left a white wreath with yellow ends and central band. The belt and loincloth suggest that he is a native Italian; compare the warrior on the painter's neck-amphora in Brussels (A 3550: Trendall, LCS, p. 322, no. 704, pl. 126). B: A white-skinned woman wearing a peplos and yellow bracelets and shoes stands to the left. A belt of yellow beads circles her waist. Her hair is tied up with a white fillet with trailing yellow ends. She holds a white wreath with yellow ends and central band in her extended right hand and rests her left hand on her hip. A band of egg-pattern circles the rim. Large flowers flank both figures, and there are large palmettes under the handles. The circling groundline consists of two parallel stripes. The Errera Painter worked in Capua in the third quarter of the century in a workshop that included the Laghetto Painter, the Caivano Painter, and the Painter of B.M. F 63, to whom he is particularly close in style. The beaded belt and plump white wreaths were among his favorite motifs. His women are often painted white. http://collections.mfa.org/objects/154135/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/853193/resize%3Aformat%3DfullFirst Baseball Game of Keio University vs. "U" University (unidentified name)Artist unknown, JapaneseCollotype; ink on card stockhttp://collections.mfa.org/objects/415920/rdfhttp://collections.mfa.org/internal/media/dispatcher/863623/resize%3Aformat%3DfullFragments of a vase for carrying bath water (loutrophoros) depicting a youth, a discus thrower, and two older menabout 520–500 B.C.the Antimenes PainterCeramic, Black FigureFragment of a narrow, tall vase.
