Fragment of a terracotta neck-amphora (jar)
Euphronios
ca. 515 BCE · Terracotta · Greek and Roman Art
Head of a satyr holding a bunch of grapes Although little of the decoration is preserved, the satyr's mannerliness is suggested by his delicate fingers and impeccable beard and moustache. Euphronios' use of added clay for the grapes indicates his interest in special surface effects.
