Terracotta neck-amphora (jar) of Panathenaic shape

Attributed to the Antimenes Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 155

Obverse, Athena
Reverse, boxers

Although this vase resembles Panathenaic prize amphorae in shape and decoration, the absence of the inscription from the games at Athens and the smaller size suggest that it was not a prize. The Antimenes Painter is most familiar from standard neck-amphorae showing mythological scenes that have the same sureness as the boxing match here.
