Terracotta Stamnos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008

Terracotta Stamnos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008
Terracotta Stamnos (jar)
Greek, Attic, black-figure, ca. 525-500 BC
Attributed to an artist related in style to the Antimenes Painter
Obverse, athletes
Reverse, warriors departing

Accession # 56.171.27

Athletics were among the most important pursuits of Athenian youths and therefore appear frequently on vases. The scene here was probably quite typical in a gymnasium. Two young men with spears converse with another who holds a diskos. An older man, perhaps a trainer, is at the right.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
