Terracotta Cup- Cow's Foot in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2009

Terracotta Cup- Cow's Foot in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2009
Terracotta cup- cow's hoof
Greek, Attic, red-figure, ca. 470-460 BC
Attributed to a painter recalling the Brygos Painter
Herdsman with two cows, dog, and hare

Accession # 38.11.2

Because landscape is rarely depicted on Attic vases, the amount of detail here is exceptional. Moreover, the herdsman's attire- shoes and a cap and a cloak of fur or hide- suggests cold weather.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
