Terracotta Nolan Neck Amphora (jar) 460 BC

This 460 BC terracotta amphora, or jar, is a fine example of Ancient Greek pottery. The black glazed amphora has a scene painted on the body in a red-figure style. The scene depicts a winged goddess, likely Nike, with a female figure. This amphora, now located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of ancient Greek potters, who used these vessels to store and transport wine and other liquids.
