Terracotta calyx-krater (mixing bowl) 350 BC

This terracotta calyx-krater, a type of mixing bowl, was created by the Konnakis Group in 350 BC. The bowl features a black-glazed surface with a white-ground depiction of a satyr dancing, likely a Dionysian reveler. The satyr's exaggerated movements and the stylized garlands hanging above him are characteristic of the Konnakis Group's style, a group of Athenian potters known for their playful and often humorous depictions of mythological scenes. The krater's small size suggests it was intended for personal use rather than large-scale banquets, highlighting the importance of even intimate rituals in Ancient Greece.
