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

This terracotta fragment is a piece of a kylix, a type of drinking cup common in ancient Greece. Created by the artist Makron in 530 BC, the fragment showcases a black-figure style of painting, with a scene depicted in black paint on the reddish-brown clay surface. This fragment, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into ancient Greek pottery production and the artistic conventions of the time.
