Terracotta skyphos (deep drinking cup) 325 BC

This terracotta skyphos, a type of deep drinking cup, was created by the Tondo Group in 325 BC. It is a fine example of Greek pottery from the Classical period. The skyphos features a black-figure technique, with the figure of a woman depicted in white and the background painted in black. The woman's face, jewelry, and clothing are picked out in white against the black background, creating a striking contrast. The intricate floral designs adorning the cup are rendered in yellow and white. This skyphos, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, represents a vibrant and intricate example of Greek artistic tradition.
