Terracotta oinochoe (jug)

A terracotta oinochoe in red-figure technique shows a team of four white horses pulling a chariot toward the left, with a charioteer in the right corner. Black glaze covers the body, and a Greek key border runs around the base. The figures are drawn with fine incised lines and added white and yellow highlights.

Look closer: A small winged figure, likely Nike, appears among the decoration near the upper shoulder.
