A deep black cup with projecting handles and a circular foot. The archive photograph shows the rounded bowl and the contrasting orientation of its handles.
Historical context
The skyphos is a deep drinking cup with two handles. Ancient versions differ in proportion, foot and handle arrangement. The Met records an Attic example within its Greek pottery collection; it offers context for the vessel family rather than a prototype for this black workshop design.
