Lekythos 530 BC

This Attic black-figure lekythos, dating back to 530 BC, is a fine example of Greek pottery made by the Capodimonte Group. The lekythos is a type of vase used for storing oil or perfumes, and it is decorated with a scene of a warrior in battle. The black-figure technique, which features black figures painted onto a red clay background, was a popular style in ancient Greece. The lekythos is now located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
