Terracotta column-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water)

Attributed to the Pig Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

By the second quarter of the fifth century, the column-krater was quite an old-fashioned shape, yet it found favor with the Pig Painter and his Mannerist colleagues. Note the survival of black-figure ornament on the front of the neck.
