Terracotta kylix (drinking cup) with horses 510 BC

This terracotta kylix (drinking cup) from 510 BC is a fine example of black-figure Attic pottery. The cup features a central design of a warrior standing beside a horse, rendered in the characteristic black-figure style with orange details. The kylix was a common drinking vessel used in ancient Greece, and the imagery on this piece would have been meaningful to its original users, perhaps referencing the importance of horses in battle or daily life. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this cup provides a glimpse into the artistry and culture of ancient Athens.
