Terracotta Nolan Neck Amphora (jar) 430 BC

This Ancient Greek terracotta amphora, also known as a jar, dates to 430 BC. The black-figure vase depicts two warriors in combat, one with a shield and spear and the other with a sword and spear. The scene is painted in the "black-figure" style, a technique common in Ancient Greek pottery where figures are painted in black slip and details are added in red or white. The vase is a fine example of Athenian pottery, and it is currently in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) in New York City.
