Terracotta Hadra hydria (water jar)
Unknown
ca. 213 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
inscribed "Theudotos" The relatively firm date of this hydria is provided by its close stylistic relationship to hydria 90.9.29 (on view in case 9 of the Roman Court), which has a securely dated inscription. The vessels are thought to be by the same artist since both feature the decorative combination of cross-hatched diagonal bands with a four-petaled rosette and dotted rosettes framed by sideways palmette fronds.
