Detail of the Terracotta Neck Amphora Attributed to the Painter of Munich 1410 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010
Terracotta Neck-Amphora (jar)
Greek, Attic, black-figure, ca. 530 BC
Attributed to the Painter of Munich 1410
Obverse, departure of a youth
Reverse, two young men between warriors

Accession # 98.8.14

The main scene can be recognized as a departure because of the accoutrement of the youth-- fully dressed, with sandals, sword, and two spears-- as well as the action of filling his cup from an oinochoe. The elaborate garments, the attendants of different ages, and the second pair of spears held by the youth at the right suggest a mythological episode.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
