Terracotta volute-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water)

Attributed to the Bolsena Group

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 170

Of particular interest on this volute-krater is the treatment of the handles. The handles themselves are in the form of youths while above them, circumnavigating the lip, are erotes riding dolphins.
