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

Attributed to the Painter of the Louvre Centauromachy

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 157

With only three figures and carefully selected and rendered details - the musical instruments, the drinking cup, the boots on the floor, the representation captures and characterizes a Classical symposium. The scene is noteworthy for its gravity.
