Terracotta fragments of a kylix (drinking cup) 530 BC

These are terracotta fragments of a kylix, a type of drinking cup, dating back to 530 BC. The fragments, made by the Athenian potter Makron, feature a geometric black-figure design with a meander pattern. The kylix was likely used in symposia, social gatherings where men drank wine and discussed philosophy and politics. These fragments are a reminder of the rich history of ancient Greek pottery, and their unique patterns provide insight into artistic styles and social customs of the time.
