Terracotta neck-amphora (jar)

Attributed to the Group of New York GR 517

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Obverse and reverse, on the shoulder, two winged figures, Erotes?

This idiosyncratic vase reflects influence of both black-figure and red-figure prototypes. The general shape and the ornament on the neck are derived from Attic black-figure neck-amphorae. The decoration, however, reflects the freer drawing of red-figure during the first decades of the fifth century B.C.
