Terracotta pelike (jar)
Attributed to the Perth Group
On the shoulder, obverse, kneeling Eros with mirror and aryballos (oil flask)
Reverse, head of a woman
Eros is probaby to be understood as the attendant of the woman, who would be Aphrodite or possibly Helen in a mythological context. Here, without an additional attribute, she may be an ordinary mortal. Her hair is in a kekryphalos, a kind of headband that leaves a ponytail at the back.
