Terracotta neck-amphora (jar). Culture: Greek, South Italian, Campanian. Dimensions: H.: 8 5/16 in. (21.2 cm). Date: 5th century B.C..Around vase, procession of figures to an altarOf the major regions in Southern Italy producing painted vases, only Campania had a significant black-figure output. As the present example indicates, the technique employs a minimum of incision, making it closer to silhouette than actual figure. While dependent on Attic models, a piece such as this one is distinct in the decoration that circles the vase rather than being divided by the handles into front and back. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
