Cylix of Apollo 470 BC

The "Cylix of Apollo" is an ancient Greek pottery piece from 470 BC that depicts the god Apollo playing a lyre while seated. The imagery is striking and uses black-figure technique, a type of painting common in ancient Greek art, where the figures are painted in black and the background is left white. The scene is depicted in a circle in the center of the cylix, a type of shallow drinking cup with two handles, and it's thought to have been used for mixing wine. The image also includes a crow or raven, which is a symbol associated with Apollo.
