Black-Figure Amphora (Type B; Storage Vessel): Men and Horses

Black-figure Amphora · c. 540 BCE
Although pieced together from many fragments (with some still missing), this sizeable amphora remains impressive. On each side, a horsemen and four figures are contained within a large, reserved panel beneath a lotus-palmette frieze. The scenes, which differ slightly from one another in various details, cannot be identified with known historical or mythological figures or episodes.
