Terracotta miniature Panathenaic amphora
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.
