Title: Corinthian Round-Bodied Pyxis Artist/Maker: Perhaps by the Chimaera Painter (Greek (Corinthian), active 600 - 575 B.C.) Culture: Greek (Corinthian) Place: Greece (Corinth) (Place created) Date: about 570 B.C. Medium: Terracotta Object Number: 88.AE.105 Dimensions: 21.7 × 22.2 cm (8 9/16 × 8 3/4 in.) Alternate Titles: Cosmetics Container with Animals (Display Title) Object Type: Pyxis An animal frieze encircles the body of this Corinthian black-figure pyxis. Real and mythological creatures, including lions, a goat, a bull, and a bearded siren, make up the decoration. Their stylized, sharply outlined bodies rhythmically balance against one another. Rosettes fill the spaces around the animals. Above this, a lotus and palmette chain decorates the shoulder of the vessel. In place of handles, the potter has added mold-made female heads. The pyxis was a container for perfumed oils and cosmetics. Beginning around 575 B.C., Corinthian potters occasionally added mold-made heads to these vessels. By the early 500s B.C., Corinthian pottery, with its simple and repetitive yet elegant decoration, had completely taken over the pottery market and became widely exported throughout the Mediterranean.

Dinos (mixing bowl), ca. 630–615 B.C. Attributed to the Polyteleia Painter Greek, Corinthian (Transitional Period) Terracotta; Diam. 12 in. (30.5 cm) Purchase, The Bothmer Purchase Fund and Louis V. Bell Fund, 1997 (1997.36) The finest vases from the region of Corinth are generally datable to the seventh century B.C. This dinos, a bowl for the mixing of wine and water, is decorated with panthers, sphinxes, goats, and lions in two horizontal bands. Each beast stands distinct from the other, marching in measured rhythm with rosettes and scrolls scattered around them. The images and design derive from Near Eastern traditions.

Prospect Park's "Peristyle" or "Grecian Shelter" was designed by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White. In Roman architecture a peristyle is a columned porch or open colonnade in a building that surrounds a court that may contain an internal garden. "Tetrastoon" is another name for this feature. In the Christian ecclesiastical architecture that developed from Roman precedents, a basilica, such as Old St Peter's in Rome, would stand behind a peristyle forecourt that sheltered it from the street. In time the cloister developed from the peristyle. In rural settings a wealthy Roman could surround a villa with terraced gardens; within the city Romans created their gardens inside the domus. The peristylium was an open courtyard within the house; the columns or square pillars surrounding the garden supported a shady roofed portico whose inner walls were often embellished with elaborate wall paintings of landscapes and trompe-l'oeil architecture. Sometimes the lararium, a shrine for the Lares, the gods of the household, was located in this portico, or it might be found in the atrium. The courtyard might contain flowers and shrubs, fountains, benches, sculptures and even fish ponds. Text from the second paragraph down from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristyle
