Terracotta neck-amphora (jar) with twisted handles 450 BC

This 5th-century BC Attic black-figure neck-amphora, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a scene of a man leading a horse, accompanied by two other figures. The figures are painted in black silhouette against a red background, characteristic of black-figure pottery. The amphora's twisted handles and intricate geometric designs embellish the vessel, showcasing the craftsmanship of ancient Greek potters. These amphorae were primarily used to store and transport wine or oil.
