Attic Late Geometric Amphora. From Athens. By the Dipylon Painter 750 BC

This Attic Late Geometric Amphora, created by the Dipylon Painter around 750 BC, exemplifies the intricate geometric designs characteristic of the Late Geometric period in Ancient Greece. Featuring a wide, bulbous body and a tall neck, the amphora is adorned with a series of horizontal bands of meanders, chevrons, and other geometric patterns in black on a reddish-brown clay ground. This intricate decoration reflects the evolving artistic styles of the time and the growing sophistication of Greek pottery making. Now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, the amphora is a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of ancient Greek art.
