Terracotta cup: cow's hoof
Brygos Painter
ca. 470–460 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Herdsman with two cows, god, and hare Because landscape is rarely depicted on Attic vases, the amount of detail here is exceptional. Moreover, the herdsman's attire—shoes and a cap and cloak of fur or hide—suggests cold weather.
