Boeotian Four-handled Bowl

Illustration

published on 04 October 2016

While this class of bowl typically bears bird motifs on the outside, this example, dating to the mid-sixth century BCE, features the stylistic representation of plants and geometric motifs instead. The inside simply features simple banding.

Currently housed in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada.
