Terracotta rim fragment of a kylix (drinking cup) 530 BC

This is a fragment of a kylix (drinking cup) made by the Athenian potter Makron in 530 BC. It shows a black-figure painting of a bearded man wearing a wreath. The image depicts a scene from Greek mythology, possibly a god or hero, and is a remarkable example of Attic black-figure pottery. The fragment is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
