The Metropolitan Museum of Art Greek Vase Apron | Tableware

The Timeless Decoration On This Apron Is Borrowed From An Impressive Terracotta Volute-Krater (Ca. 450 B.C.) In The Met Collection. Attributed To The Ancient Greek Painter Of The Woolly Satyrs, This Vase Reserved For Mixing Water And Wine Boasts A Spectacular Narrative Scene Depicting A Battle Between The Greeks And The Amazons, A Fabled Race Of Warrior Women. The Ancient Greeks Rarely Illustrated Historical Events In Art; Rather, They Preferred The Grandeur Of Mythology.
