Fragment of a terracotta calyx-krater (mixing bowl) 400 BC

This fragment of a terracotta calyx-krater, dating back to 400 BC, showcases a depiction of a woman in a flowing robe. The figure is rendered in the distinctive red-figure style, a technique popular in ancient Greek vase painting. The use of black glaze for the background and orange-red for the figures is characteristic of the period, creating a striking contrast. Although only a portion of the original vessel remains, the fragment offers a glimpse into the artistic conventions and imagery of ancient Greece, providing valuable insights into the social and cultural context of the time.
