Terracotta neck-amphora (storage jar). Culture: Greek, Corinthian. Dimensions: H.: 11 1/2 in. (29.2 cm). Date: ca. 620-590 B.C..Corinthian potters and painters invented a technique of silhouetted forms that would evolve into the black figures of Athenian vase painting. Typically, their vessels, like this neck amphora, are decorated with tapestry-like patterns of small animals and plant motifs. A variety of animals- bulls, lions, birds and goats march around the belly of this vase, and multiple rosettes fill the background. Above the queue of exquisite animals is a padded dancer, who stands between two lions. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Ewer with a Feline-Shaped Handle 7th century This ewer demonstrates a continuation of Parthian and Sasanian forms during the early Islamic period in Iran. The lobed forms represent mountains and the vertical lines surmounted by budlike shapes are probably plants. Its overall composition and motifs demonstrate the transition from a figural style to a growing taste for rhythmic repeating patterns. The handle is shaped like an elongated cat peering at the heads of two birds depicted on the rim of the vessel, as though about to pounce.. Ewer with a Feline-Shaped Handle. 7th century.
