Terracotta fragment of a kylix (drinking cup) 530 BC

This fragmented terracotta kylix, a type of drinking cup, was created by the Athenian potter Makron around 530 BC. The fragment depicts a scene in red-figure technique, a style where the figures are painted in red on a black background. The black glaze of the clay is still visible, as well as a thin band of geometric patterns. This piece is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, providing insight into the artistic practices of ancient Greece.
