We all need a timeline cleanse right now... An adorable #Greek rhyton in the shape of a cow's head. Vessels such as this one were used in drinking parties. Since they didn't have a base, the content had to be consumed before the vessel could be put down Dating ca. 460 BC 📷Metropolitan Museum 🏺
An one-handled vessel designed as a cow's head, showing intricate detailing of the eyes, ears, and horns. On the side, a painted scene in classical Greek style features a robed figure in motion.

Weekend timeline cleanse! A #Greek rhyton in the shape of a #dog's head. 🐕🐶 Vessels such as this were used in drinking parties. Since they didn't have a base, their contents had to be consumed before the vessel could be put down Dating ca. 475 BC. 📷 Museo Nazionale Etrusco di Villa Giulia 🏺
Pottery drinking cup shaped like an animal’s head. The vessel is glossy black, featuring a rounded snout, raised eyes, and a handle. A red-digured banquet scene encircles the lower part. The cup is photographed against a plain light background

This #Greek terracotta drinking cup sort of nails the theme. In the shape of a cow’s hoof, it depicts a seated herdsman with two cows on the cuff. Top-notch detailing, including the attire of the youth, who‘s wearing a cap and cloak, suggesting cold weather. 🏺 1/ 5th c. BCE, #MetMuseum. 📸 me
This red-figure terracotta cup in the shape of a cow's hoof depicts a seated herdsman holding a stick/goad with two cows, a dog, and a hare on the cuff. Because landscape is rarely depicted on Attic vases, the amount of detail here is exceptional. Moreover, the herdsman's attire—shoes and a cap and cloak of fur or hide—suggests cold weather.

Greek, Attic, red-figure, ca. 470-460 BCE, attributed to a painter recalling the Brygos Painter. Said to have been found in Salamis.

H. 4 1/16 in. (10.3 cm)

Met Museum, New York (38.11.2)

It has been quite a week! We all need a timeline cleanse 🐰 This whimsical shallow terracotta bowl with a lively hare's head modelled onto its rim was perfect for holding libations, grains, or small offerings during #Greek rituals. While its exact findespot is unknown, comparable... 🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺
A small, flat, circular bowl with a hare's head with a long neck attached on the rim, its long ears standing upright. Painted motifs, dots on the neck, stripes and zigzags on the bowl, enhance the buff clay surface, the hare's face showing eyes, nostrils, and a whimsical expression.

Adding the finishing touches 🖌️ The image in this ancient #Greek cup depicts a helmet-maker concentrating on adding the final touches to a Corinthian helmet. 📷️ Attic red-figure pottery stemmed cup depicting a scene of daily life, The Antiphon Painter, 490–480 BCE. AN1896-1908.G.267
The cup with its scene of ancient daily life had already been broken and repaired in antiquity before it was placed into a tomb, possibly of a helmet-maker. It was found only in fragments sometime in the 19th century and subsequently heavily restored by adding missing parts of the vessel and reconstructing their decoration, including the entire central part of the image and parts of its surrounding decorative frame. The brighter orange areas are original.

You can find this unique object on display in Gallery 16 on the ground floor. Ashmolean Museum Collection
