Terracotta fragments of a trefoil olpe (jug) 600 BC

These terracotta fragments are part of a trefoil olpe, a type of ancient Greek jug. They were made in 600 BC and are currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The fragments display black-figure painting, a style of pottery decoration where figures are painted in black silhouette on a red-orange clay background. These pieces offer a glimpse into the artistic production of the ancient Greek world and are a valuable resource for understanding pottery and art during that period.
