Terracotta squat lekythos (oil flask) ca. 420 B.C. Attributed to the Washing Painter Woman and Eros.The representation may not be as simple as it appears. The seated lady faces Eros, who replaces a servant in holding a casket. The casket would normally be thought to contain jewelry and small personal items, but in the hands of Eros the contents may be less banal. Noteworthy also is the juxtaposition of the bird and Eros. While the bird may be merely a pet, it is given prominence and therefore invites comparison with the winged youth.. Terracotta squat lekythos (oil flask). Greek, Attic. ca. 420 B.C.. Terracotta; red-figure. Classical. Vases
