Terracotta oinochoe (jug)

A tall terracotta jug with black glaze and a frieze of white horses in tandem, drawn in white slip and fine red-brown lines. A winged figure and a chariot appear at the right edge, and a band of meander ornament runs along the foot. The shape is a Hellenistic oinochoe with a sculpted handle top.

Look closer: A small winged figure stands behind the chariot at the far right edge.
