Terracotta amphora (jar)
A dark glazed terracotta amphora with a red-figure scene of a robed man walking to the left, holding a lyre at his side. Red figures stand out against the black ground, and the two handles frame the vessel's shoulder.
Look closer: A small dark stain or worn patch on the foot ring at the base of the vase.
