Terracotta fragment of a kylix (drinking cup) 530 BC

This fragment of a terracotta kylix (drinking cup) was created by the Athenian potter Apollodoros in 530 BC. The black-figure decoration, a hallmark of Athenian pottery of the time, is visible in the piece. This fragment, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of ancient Athenian pottery.
