Perizoma Group
,_Attic,_c._510_BC,_L_327_-_Martin_von_Wagner_Museum_-_W%C3%BCrzburg,_Germany_-_DSC05507.jpg)
The term Perizoma Group describes a group of
black-figure
vase painters and a type of vase. They were active approximately 520–510 BC.
The group is named after the
symposiasts. The group often painted stamnoi, a vase shape introduced to Athens around 520 BC. The drawing style of the small group is considered as highly distinctive. Its figures, especially athletes, often appear rather weak. Apart from stamnoi, they painted single-handled kantharoi, resembling Etruscan
shapes and likely aimed for export to that area.
