Terracotta amphora (jar)
Attributed to the Botkin Class
Probably by the Phrynos Painter
Obverse, a youth between two men
Reverse, a woman between two men
The handsome pattern of spirals, palmettes, and a lotos bud under the handles of this vase is similar to that on a vase signed Amasis made me. A number of the craftsmen in the Athenian Kerameikos (potters' quarter) were both potter and painter, and possibly this vase was made by Amasis to be decorated by another artist.
