Did You Know?

The Athenian stamnos, a shape favored by the Etruscans, was made primarily for export.

Description

Four lively figures move to the right across the front side of this stamnos, a vase used for storing and mixing wine. First comes a finely dressed woman playing the pipes, followed by three male figures, all nearly nude. The bearded one holds a drinking cup and reaches back, perhaps dancing, while the last in line concentrates on the music of his lyre.
Scene of four orange-brown figures on a black ceramic stamnos, a vessel with a small circular base, a rounded body with two squared handles on either side, and thin neck that flares at the lip. Above and below, orange-brown geometric bands frame monochromatic figures. A woman leads playing the pipes, a man walking behind. The next man turns, throwing his arm towards the last man, playing the lyre, a stringed musical instrument.
