- Dinos
-
- For 'dinos' as the plural of 'dino,' see dinosaur.
In the typology of ancient Greek pottery, the dinos (plural dinoi) is a mixing bowl. Dinos means "drinking cup," but in modern typology is used (wrongly) for the same shape as a lebes, that is, a bowl with a spherical body meant to sit on a stand. It has no handles and no feet.[1]
The Dinos Painter, one of the ancient Greek artists known for vase painting, takes his name from the type of vase characteristic of his work.[2]
