Terracotta Column Krater (bowl for mixing wine and water) Greek, Attic, red-figure, ca. 470-460 BC Attributed to the Orchard Painter Obverse, Jason about to seize the Golden Fleece, the stern of the Argo at the right Reverse, woman between two youths Accession # 34.11.7 Jason led the Argonauts, a band of adventurers who set off on the ship Argo to steal the magical golden fleece of a ram, which was preserved in Kolchis on the Black Sea. With the help of the gods and the sorceress Medea, Jason was able to take the fleece from a grove protected by a dragon. Here, Athena beside him, he reaches for the fleece. A companion prepares to board the ship. The basis of the legend of the Golden Fleece is probably the ancient practice of extracting alluvial gold by causing deposits in a stream to wash over a fleece, thereby catching the gold-bearing material in the curly pelt.
