Terracotta Bell Krater (mixing Bowl) 350 BC

This terracotta bell krater (mixing bowl) dating back to 350 BC is a fine example of Ancient Greek pottery. The black-figure technique, which uses black glaze on a red clay background, is evident in the figures depicted on the vessel. The figures, likely depicting a scene from Greek mythology or everyday life, are painted with a keen eye for detail, capturing the essence of human interaction. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers insight into the artistic and cultural practices of ancient Greece.
