There’s a show coming up, and I think I’m going to be able to eke this thing out in time to enter it!
You can probably see some lighter spots of the red; that is from where I scratched some away in order to neaten up some lines. They should even out once fired.

Ritual water vessel. Red-Figure Loutrophoros without handles. Attributed to the White Sakkos Painter. South Italian, Apulian, ca. 330 BCE. Tampa Museum of Art. Info and photo from: American Art Guide.
The tendril or snake-legged figure has multiple curling tails, wears a leaf skirt and headdress, while her torso is bare.
This version of the Scythian snake-legged goddess is extremely interesting, as she’s playing a kithara, a Greek stringed instrument, similar to a lyre. I haven’t seen any other depictions of the Scythian goddess playing an instrument, of any kind. The instrument does make me wonder if the artist here mixed up the Scythian goddess with the Sirens of the Odyssey— especially as there’s another vase, which clearly shows a bird-bodied siren with curls similar to this vase:
Apulian red-figured oinochoe, about 350-320 BCE. Full post here, which discusses the other vases. Photo from Flickr.
There’s several other depictions possible Scythian goddess figures with wings:
While I don’t think that the two-tailed figure was ever called a “siren” until Romanesque church art, I find the parallels with both the Sirens and the Scythian snake-legged goddess here very interesting.
For reference, a bird-bodied Siren playing a lyre on a vase:
White-ground lekythos, Odysseus and the Sirens, Eretria. By the Edinburgh Painter. Late 6th century BCE. From the National Archeological Museum in Athens, picture by me.

Greek lekythos, Cock Group, depicting a mincing satyr and maenad between two draped youths
ITEM Lekythos, Cock Group, depicting mincing satyr and maenad between two draped youths MATERIAL Pottery CULTURE Greek PERIOD 510 - 500 B.C DIMENSIONS 130 mm x 58 mm diameter CONDITION Good condition PROVENANCE Ex German private collection, P.A., Munich, since 2021, previously from German private collection acquired before 2000s Greek lekythoi depicting a satyr and maenad, along with youths, offer intriguing glimpses into the mythical narratives, religious rituals, and social customs of ancient Greece. Lekythoi were a type of ancient Greek pottery vessel used primarily for storing oil, often placed in tombs as offerings to the deceased. These vessels were typically decorated with scenes from everyday life, mythology, or religious ceremonies, providing valuable insights into the cultural and artistic practices of ancient Greece. The depiction of a satyr and maenad on a Greek lekythos suggests a scene from Greek mythology or religious worship. Satyrs were mythical creatures associated with the god Dionysus, known for their wild and hedonistic behavior. Maenads were female followers of Dionysus who participated in ecstatic rituals and celebrations known as Bacchanalia. The presence of youths in the scene may suggest a Dionysian procession or revelry, where participants, including satyrs, maenads, and youths, engaged in music, dance, and wine-drinking as part of the worship of Dionysus.

This is my first post and I have absolutely no idea how this site works, so this is a fuck around and find out kind of situation.
