Chitons

 

(Left) Teal blue cotton gauze “Doric chiton” without apoptygma painted with Vergina suns, waves, and an adaption of the palmette to represent strawberry leaves.

(Right) Black cotton gauze “Doric chiton” without apoptygma painted with Vergina suns, waves, countercomponey, and dot pattern to mimic “spangles.”

Athena’s chiton on the Amphora of Herakles and Athena by the Berlin painter was inspiration for the composition of “stacked bands” near the bottom of the teal chiton [1]. Herakles’ tunic on the name vase of the Pronomos painter served as inspiration for the wave and palmette patterns [2]. The Amphora by Exekias shows the use of Vergina suns on a garment [3]. Europa has countercomponey on the bottom hem of her chiton shown on Europa on the bull by Asteas [4].
