Depiction of Achilles and Hector on Ancient Greek Black-Figure Chalcidian Krater
This amazing ancient Greek Chalcidian Krater with black figures is a high quality hand painted replica of the actual historic vessel from Athens. The krater depicts Achilles fighting Hector surrounded by Hera and Aphrodite on one side, and Greek Riders on the other side. Black-figure pottery painting, also known as the black-figure style or black-figure ceramic is one of the most modern styles for adorning antique Greek vases. It was especially common between the 7th and 5th centuries BC, although there are specimens dating as late as the 2nd century BC. Stylistically it can be distinguished from the preceding orientalizing period and the subsequent red-figure pottery style.
Materials: Terracotta & Acrylic Paint
Dimensions: 9.6"H x 8.6"W x 7.8"D
