Terracotta kantharos (drinking cup with high handles)

Greek, Attic

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 157

Athenian artists conceived and treated vase shapes so organically that the step from a standard kantharos to a figural one was minimal. On this example, the head of a satyr is coupled with that of a woman, possibly a maenad.
