This Black-Figure Kylix from 540 BC is a ceramic drinking cup that was likely used for social gatherings in ancient Greece. It features a unique design of a stylized horseman, possibly a god, surrounded by swirling patterns and geometric motifs. This design highlights the skill and creativity of the anonymous Athenian potter, making this piece a captivating example of Black-Figure ceramics. The eye-cup shape is typical of Kylix, which allowed for a large amount of wine to be consumed during celebrations.
