Terracotta fragment of a kylix (drinking cup) 530 BC

This fragment of a kylix, a type of drinking cup, is a terracotta piece created by the Athenian potter Apollodoros in 530 BC. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The fragment displays black-figure painting, a technique popular in ancient Greece, where figures are painted in black silhouette against a red background. The decoration is particularly interesting for its depiction of architectural details, potentially showcasing a specific building or scene.
