Terracotta neck-amphora (jar)
Painter of the Cambridge Hydria
ca. 540 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Obverse and reverse, on the shoulder, siren; on the body, cocks flanking a floral; under the handles, man running This type of very fine black-figure vase is found primarily in southern Italy and was probably made there. It is known as Chalcidian because some examples carry inscriptions in the script used at the city of Chalkis, on the island of Euboea.
