Terracotta lekythos

Attributed to the Cock Painter

Not on view

The "Cock Class" painters, identified by the characteristic stylized cock between ivy leaves, produced hundreds of lekythoi in the last quarter of the 6th century and early 5th century B.C. Used for storing oil, they were made in Athens and exported around the Mediterranean. Several have been discovered in Anatolia (present-day Turkey).
