The Polos Painter is an Athenian black-figure painter active ca. 575-565 BCE. The name derives from the cross-hatched crown
(“polos”) worn by his female and hybrid figures. Shapes include the lekanis, pyxis, hydria, skyphos, and plate. Findspots
include Athens (Agora, Acropolis), Cyrene, Tocra (Libya), Naukratis, and Samos (Heraion).
