Terracotta fragment of a kylix (drinking cup) 530 BC

This is a terracotta fragment of a kylix, or drinking cup, attributed to the Athenian potter Apollodoros. This fragment is part of the tondo, the center of the kylix, and depicts a male figure in black-figure style. The figure is drawn in black glaze on a red clay ground, a hallmark of this style popular in ancient Greece from the 7th to the 5th century BC. This particular fragment dates to 530 BC and is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
