Squat Lekythos Depicting a Seated Woman

Red-figure 6256 · Lekythos · 442-420 BCE (Classical)
<p>This red-figure squat lekythos depicts a woman sitting on a diphros to the right, leaning slightly forward. She casts forth something, most of which is lost, from her right hand; her lower left arm rests on her left thigh. She wears a chiton, earring, serpentine bracelets, and a diadem.A seated woman is a common subject on squat lekythoi. It is unclear what the woman on this vase is throwing, but a ball is a possibility.</p><p>For the latest information about this object, <cite><a href='https://purl.thewalters.org/art/48.260' rel='external'>Squat Lekythos Depicting a Seated Woman</a></cite>, visit the Online Collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p>
