This black figure terracotta neck-amphora with lid and knob, dating back to approximately 540 B. C. , is a remarkable piece of Greek antiquity. Standing at an impressive 47 centimeters high, it can be found in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Attributed to the renowned Greek artist Exekias, this amphora showcases exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The intricate painting depicts various scenes from ancient Greek life. On one side, we see a chariot race with horses galloping at full speed, while on the other side, a couple engages in music-making using a kithara instrument. The jar's handles are elegantly shaped like musicians playing their instruments, adding an artistic flair to its overall design. Its classical style and archaic features make it an invaluable artifact for historians and art enthusiasts alike. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece - a world filled with vibrant culture and rich traditions.
