Terracotta fragment of a column-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water) 530 BC

This terracotta fragment of a column-krater, a type of ancient Greek bowl used for mixing wine and water, dates back to 530 BC. The fragment depicts a scene featuring a figure, possibly a god or goddess, in black-figure technique, a style of Greek vase painting using black slip to create figures on a reddish-brown clay background. This fragment, which was likely part of a larger, more complete scene, showcases a significant example of Attic pottery from the Archaic Period in Greece.
