Terracotta lekythos (oil flask)
Dionysios Painter
ca. 570–550 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Frontal chariot and dog In shape and decoration, this work is heavily influenced by Attic models. The so-called Deianeira lekythos, with its elongated body, small mouth, and drip ring, represents an early Attic variety. The frontal quadriga began to be popular as well in the second quarter of the sixth century. Three names are painted in the panel, one for each horse and one additional (Dionysios).
