mid 5th cent

A red-figure squat lekythos decorated with a tender domestic scene: a seated young woman

we've curated a collection of twelve dolls with varied decorations

Both boys wear fillets and the characteristic cross-belts often shown on children in Athenian vase-painting

while the deep black glaze reflects the refined ceramic techniques developed in ancient Athens during the 5th century BCE

BG Mug Type B Collection_Adaptations mid 5th centBlack glazed skyphos, Attic Type B, ca. 480450 BCE. An Attic Type B skyphos with thin walls, a low ring foot and two differently oriented handles: one vertical and one horizontal, both attached just below the rim. This asymmetrical arrangement distinguishes the form from the more common skyphoi furnished with two horizontal handles. The type appeared during the early fifth century BCE and is closely associated with the so called glaux, or owl skyphoi.
