Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
Carlsruhe Painter
ca. 460–450 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Nike bearing a fillet The good condition of the vase shows the rather dense quality of the added color and especially the use of a second white for the figure's flesh. This practice was short-lived. The Nike appears on her way to crown a victor.
