Lekanis with Satyrs on the Lid 350 BC

This Ancient Greek Lekanis with Satyrs on the Lid, dated to 350 BC, is a classic example of Attic red-figure pottery. The lek anis was a type of container used for holding and storing cosmetics or ointments. The lid is decorated with a scene featuring two satyrs, mythical creatures with the legs of a horse and the upper body of a man, in a lively pose. The lek anis is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
