The KX Painter
Drinking cup (skyphos) with confronting lions
Archaic Period, c. 585–570 BCE
Greece, Attica, Athens
Ceramic, Black Figure, H 11.2 cm (4 7/16 in.)
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston 97.366
"On the obverse, two lions stand confronted with their chests touching and their faces turned backwards towards the vessel’s handles. Each of the lions is rendered in black paint. Their manes, mouths, chests and bellies are all detailed with red paint, while the locks of hair along their necks alternate in color between red and black. Details of the lions’ anatomy are articulated with incisions. Their ferocity is implied especially by their open mouths, which display their large teeth and projecting tongues. On reverse, a complex interlocking lotus and palmette motif fills the entire pictorial field. The rim and handles of the vessel are decorated with thin linear bands. The lions and the lotus and palmette motif stand atop a red bounding line, below which is a pair of gridded lines and another red bounding line, which is in turn bordered by a ray pattern that emanates from the cup’s foot."

Etruscan terracotta kantharos (drinking cup) with ketos (sea monster)
Because the trip to the Underworld was believed to involve a sea voyage, marine creatures, both real and imaginary, were often associated with death in Etruscan culture. Both hippocamps (sea horses) and kete (sea monsters) were presented in a positive light, often guarding the deceased or transporting them to the Underworld.

The Lion King plastic cup
I bought this for €0,20 at a thrift store in Stadskanaal on 1 August 2022. The liquid that’s supposed to be in the outer layer is gone, causing the glitter and charms to clump at the bottom.

Screw terfs n all but are you normal about transgirls who don't want to medically transition? Are you normal about transguys with boobs who don't wear binders? Are you normal about the trans people who only want to socially transition because that's what's right for them? Are you normal about the transgirls with beards? Are you normal about the transguys who love their curves? Screw terfs, but are you normal about trans people?
