Terracotta fish-plate

Attributed to the Bastis Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Although this plate is among a group of similar fish-plates by the Bastis Painter, certain features are different. On this piece, the body of the fish is outlined in white, not black, the mouth, eyes, and dots on the body are drawn differently, and the decoration around the central depression is a band of strokes, not the usual wave-pattern.
