Terracotta kylix (drinking cup) 480 BC

This 480 BC terracotta kylix, a type of drinking cup used in Ancient Greece, was crafted by the artist Makron. The black-figure pottery technique, featuring figures drawn in black glaze on a red clay background, showcases a scene with two figures in a circle framed by a geometric meander pattern. This kylix, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the skilled craftsmanship and artistic sophistication of ancient Greek pottery.
