Pitcher with Animals Greek, made in Athens, 750-700 BC Terracotta Oinochoe Inventory # 82.AE.56.12.1 Bands of diamonds, leaves, meanders, and triangles decorate the surface of this pitcher. The neck bears stylized images of a bird, a snake, and a horse. Because of the geometric designs and patters characteristic of works of art produced from 900 BC to 700 BC, when this vessel was made, scholars refer to this time as the Geometric period.

Tommy Trojan, officially known as the Trojan Shrine, is one of the most recognizable figures of school pride at the University of Southern California. The life-size bronze statue of a Trojan warrior sits in the center of campus and serves as a popular meeting spot, as well as a centerpiece for a number of campus events. It is the most popular unofficial mascot of the university. The Trojan Shrine was sculpted by Roger Noble Burnham and based on a variety of USC football players, including Russell Saunders, Ernie Pinckert, Henry Becker, Larry Stevens and John Ward. The statue was unveiled during the University's 50th Jubilee in 1930. It cost $10,000 to build, after which a $1 surcharge was added onto the season football tickets in order to help offset this cost. The original name suggested for the statue was The Spirit of Troy, but that name went to the school's marching band. Tommy Trojan is located at the core of the campus and often serves as a meeting ground for students and visitors. Many people take pictures with the statue. Tommy Trojan is surrounded by the Bovard Administration Building, Ronald Tutor Campus Center, and Alumni Park. Trousdale Parkway passes next to the statue. USC offers the Tommy Cam, which is a live image of the statue, with daily time-lapse videos. The statue is unique in that the figure is flexing every muscle in his body, a physically impossible feat. Inscribed on the base of the statue are the five attributes of the ideal Trojan: Faithful, Scholarly, Skillful, Courageous and Ambitious. On the reverse is a plaque bearing a quote by Virgil: "Here are provided seats of meditative joy, where shall rise again the destined reign of Troy." Text from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Trojan
