Terracotta miniature Panathenaic amphora

Attributed to the Bulas Group

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Obverse, Athena
Reverse, seated athlete

The Bulas Group specialized in miniature versions of Panathenaic prize amphorae. The shape and the representation of Athena follow the models quite closely. The seated athlete holding what might be a fillet is a narrative vignette that would not have appeared on a prize vase.
