Detail of the Terracotta Amphora with a Horse in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oct. 2007

Detail of the Terracotta Amphora with a Horse in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oct. 2007
Terracotta amphora (storage jar)
Attic, black-figure, ca. 560-550 BC
Said to be from Etruria
Attributed to the Painter of the Horse-Head Amphorae

Accession # 26.60.45

Over one hundred Attic vases decorated with the head and neck of a horse, all dating from the first half of the 6th century BC are known. It has been suggested that they were given as prizes in the same way that standardized vases filled with olive oil were given to the victors in the Panathenaic games.
