Terracotta kylix (drinking cup) with horses

Interior shot depicting an Amazon warrior and her horse.

This kylix of Type B is one of the more notable vases by the painter of Berlin 2268. Although it was composed without much detail or very much care, the lifelike attributes of the horses and the figures make this piece interesting and attractive. The almost total absence of anatomical markings on the figures on the exterior of the cup is typical of this time period, painter and shape.

Greek, Attic, ca. 510-500 BCE. Red-figure terracotta kylix attributed to the Painter of Berlin 2268.
