Created in 363-2 BC, this terracotta masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 89.5 cm and is currently housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA. The amphora was specifically crafted for the Panathenaia festival, a grand event held every four years in Athens to honor the goddess Athena. These narrow-necked vessels were awarded as prizes for various competitions such as athletics and music. The inscriptions on this particular amphora read "NIKODEMOS EPOIESEN" (Nikodemos made it) and "TON ATHENETHEN ATHLON" ([Prize] of the Athenian Games). Attributed to the painter of the wedding procession, its exquisite decoration depicts Nike crowning the victor of a boxing match on one side.
