Attic Black-Figure Oinochoe

Black-figure Leagros Group · Oinochoe · about 510 B.C.
Black-figure oinochoe with a komos scene of four bearded nude dancers. The figure on the far left has his arms at his sides and kicks back his left leg. To the right, a reveler wearing a fillet twists and reaches back with his left arm to look over his shoulder towards a figure wearing an ivy wreath and kicking up his left leg. The figure on the far right stands with both feet on the ground, looks left, and gestures with his right hand. A double ivy leaf pattern runs above the figures. The vessel has been reconstructed from fragments with some modern fill around the handle. There are ancient drill holes, five pairs and five single holes, that were originally fitted with metal parts to fasten breaks in the vessel.
