Terracotta skyphos
Greek, South Italian, Gnathian
Not on view
The polychrome motifs and patterns on this skyphos, created by applying yellow and white directly on top of black gloss before the vessel was fired, are characteristic of the "Gnathian style". The term is derived from the ancient name of the site of Gnathia where a great many examples have been discovered. Fine lines in yellow evoke models with gilded decoration.
