Did You Know?
The two sides of this amphora are very similar—a horseman flanked by pairs.Description
Although pieced together from many fragments (with some still missing), this sizeable amphora remains impressive. On each side, a horsemen and four figures are contained within a large, reserved panel beneath a lotus-palmette frieze. The scenes, which differ slightly from one another in various details, cannot be identified with known historical or mythological figures or episodes.- ?-1923Paul Gottschalk, Berlin, Germany, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art1923-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
