Extract

Amasis is one of the celebrated names of Attic pottery in the mid sixth century B.C. He signed only as ‘maker’. Stylistic study has shown that the signed vases were painted by a single painter, who also painted other vases that are not signed: he is conventionally named the Amasis painter.

2 It is not certain but likely that this is our Amasis, since the name is not common and the occupation agrees.
