Terracotta neck-amphora (jar)

Attributed to the Painter of Munich 1410

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 155

Obverse, departure of a youth
Reverse, two young men between warriors

The main scene can be recognized as a departure because of the accoutrement of the youth—fully dressed, with sandals, sword, and two spears—as well as the action of filling his cup from an oinochoe. The elaborate garments, the attendants of different ages, and the second pair of spears held by the youth at right suggest a mythological episode.
