Red Figure Chous in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009
Red-Figure Chous with Eros
Creator: Greek (Artist)
Period: ca. 410 BC (Classical)
Medium: terracotta (Ceramics)
Accession Number: 48.206
Measurements: H: 3 9/16 x Max. Diam: 2 3/4 in. (9.01 x 7 cm)
Geographies: Athens, Greece (Place of Origin)
This small "chous," a vessel for wine, would have been given as a gift to a young boy during the Athenian festival known as the Anthesteria, celebrating the new wine. Such vessels depict children at play, often imitating adults. Here, a chubby Eros runs, pulling a child's toy cart behind him. He wears a wreath, a spiked headdress, and a string of amulets across his chest.
