Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
Brygos Painter
ca. 480 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Girl playing aulos (double flute) Although this depiction may be considered an excerpt from a symposium scene (drinking party), it is perfectly satisfactory in itself—partly because it is so masterfully composed. Behind the musician hangs a flute case with the receptacle for the mouthpiece.
