Terracotta pyxis (box)

Unknown

ca. 400 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art

Women, youths, and Erotes The setting for the figures here seems to be outdoors, due to the rocky formation on which one woman places her foot. The youth reclining on a vaguely shaped object with legs may introduce a Dionysiac reference.
