This ancient Greek Kylix (drinking cup) dating back to around 460 BCE, is a prime example of red-figure pottery. The artwork features a scene of two figures, likely a man and a woman, painted in red against a black background. The cup is decorated with geometric patterns and has two handles, characteristic of the Kylix style. The artwork offers a glimpse into the lives of the Ancient Greeks and their use of decorative ceramics. It's a fine specimen of Greek art and a testament to the artistic prowess of the time.
