Terracotta calyx-krater (mixing bowl)

Greek, South Italian, Apulian, Gnathian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

The crisp outlines of the shape and the ribbing on the lower part of the body indicate that a metal vase was the source of inspiration. On more luxurious pieces, such as the hydria 23.74 nearby, the ornament is gilded. On simpler pieces, it is painted.
