There are 8 objects for which Decoration contains → thigh
14.9.114 Small areas of white at the top of the right thigh, and to the left of feet, suggest that the figure was coverd with white slip (painted?).
2007.10.2.245 A bearded, muscular, and semi-naked seated figure. His clothing is possibly an animal skin (paws seem to be apparent). He appears to be resting as his right arm rests on his knee and his right hand supports his bowed head. He is also holding an unidentified object in his right hand which also rests against his leg. His other hand appears to be holding a further (unidentified) object which rests across his lap. A club rests against his left thigh in the foreground of the scene. There is either a bull or cow depicted by the figure's right leg at the bottom-left of the scene. The figure shown is almost certainly Herakles, possibly resting after one his labours (herding the cattle of Geryon?).
2008.2.1.46 A female figure, naked from the thigh up. She appears to be dancing, her robe billowing around her suggesting movement.
26.2.50 white slip; exterior: below shoulder and neck join, frieze of tongues with added red; black zone at right below handle; below, wide black band with band in added white; frieze below in black-figure consisting of feline to left (part of back, rump, left hind leg and right hind thigh and tail remaining); dots and incised splinter rosettes as filling ornament; below, part of wide black band with bands in added white and red;
26.2.95 interior glazed black; exterior: black-figure decoration consisting of possible warrior scene (left thigh and right leg of warrior lunging to left; one hind leg and part of hoof from foreleg of horse in the foreground, to right).
39.9.7 Underneath, between palmettes; A: Two satyrs around an amphora (oxypythmenos), the left satyr leaning towards and pushing the amphora, while the right satyr, also leaning towards the amphora, rests his hands on his left thigh; B: Two satyrs advancing to the right, the one in the rear holding either a branch with a heart-shaped ending, or a rhyton. The right satyr's stance makes him appear to be running. The rest of the vessel's body is black. The interior is also black with a reserved disk, 8.5 in diameter, containing a central dot and two concentric circles, the one close to the dot and broader than the other, which is closer to the edge of the reserved disk. Underneath, part of the base's hollow, conical surface of the stem is painted with a broad circular band.
51.4.1 The top surface of the rim is reserved (but glazed), however, the side one bears a black meander pattern. Neck: at the left side there is the front part of a horse (head and two feet) and the right leg (thigh to toe) of the horse-rider, with incisions for detail (denoting also the bridle) and added white. At the other end there are two men, one behind the other. The fragment's termination is at the level of their knees. The first one (right end) has extended his arms, as if being a charioteer. Besides, the back part of the chariot can be seen over his white chiton. The stephane on his hair is executed with red. The black, male figure at the same level behind him makes a gesture as if holding something (invisible). He is wearing a short chiton and he is probably on the chariot too. Interior: There is a red, thin band at the rim and the rest of the surface is black.
83.11.1 Torso of seated female figurine, and legs to just below knees. Right arm (articulated). Blobs representing (?) jewlery arranged in a saltine cross over front of body, and horizontal row at waist. Tow incised lines on left thigh. Clay orange pink.
