Fragment of a terracotta neck-amphora (jar)
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.
