Terracotta krater 725 BC

This terracotta krater, dating to 725 BC, was crafted by the Trachones Workshop. It's a large vessel, standing at 51 3/8 inches tall, and is decorated with a series of bands depicting processions of figures, horses, and chariots, along with geometric patterns. This krater, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides a glimpse into the artistic techniques and visual aesthetics of the Geometric period in ancient Greece. It's a testament to the skill of the Trachones Workshop and offers insights into the social and cultural practices of the time, including funerary rituals and communal gatherings.
