This Ancient Greek terracotta pelike, dating back to 310 BC, showcases a scene from Greek mythology. The black-figure painting depicts a woman, possibly a goddess, interacting with a winged creature and a swan, while another figure appears to offer her a bowl. The elaborate geometric patterns and detailed figures demonstrate the skill of Ancient Greek potters. The pelike, a type of jar used for storing liquids, serves as a testament to the enduring artistry of Ancient Greece and their artistic traditions.
