Did You Know?

These five fragments entered the collection together but derive from four different vessels. See individual records for more information.
Five irregular ceramic fragments feature black-figure silhouettes against an orange-red background. At top left, a bearded man raises a circular canopy over a youth. To the right, a figure lifts a thin object near foliage. At bottom right, a profile figure faces a multi-stringed instrument. Two smaller shards below depict partial figures. Fine incised lines and reddish-purple paint define the hair and robes.
