Terracotta calyx-krater (mixing bowl)

Unknown

ca. 350–300 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art

The crisp outlines of the shape and the ribbing on the lower part of the body indicate that a metal vase was the source of inspiration. On more luxurious pieces, such as the hydria 23.74 nearby, the ornament is gilded. On simpler pieces, it is painted.
