Terracotta neck-amphora (jar) of Panathenaic shape
Antimenes Painter
ca. 520 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Obverse, Athena Reverse, boxers Although this vase resembles Panathenaic prize amphorae in shape and decoration, the absence of the inscription from the games at Athens and the smaller size suggest that it was not a prize. The Antimenes Painter is most familiar from standard neck-amphorae showing mythological scenes that have the same sureness as the boxing match here.
