Terracotta Askos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010

Terracotta Askos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010
Two Terracotta askoi (flasks with a spout and a handle over the top)
Greek, South Italian, Campanian, black-glaze, 4th century BC

Accession # 41.162.43, .46

With keen observation, utmost economy, and masterful sensitivity, the Campanian artists have rendered a weasel and a boar as they sit in charmed submission.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
