Fragments of a terracotta calyx-krater (mixing bowl) 400 BC

This fragmented terracotta calyx-krater from 400 BC, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a scene of a woman seated in a chair, possibly engaged in a ritualistic activity. The black-figure technique, a prominent artistic style of ancient Greece, is used to depict the figures. The fragmented nature of the artwork adds to its historical significance, allowing viewers to glimpse into the artistic practices of the time.
