Detail of a Terracotta Plate in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, June 2010
Terracotta Plate
Greek, Attic, black-figure, ca. 510 BC
Amazon carrying dead comrade, with this inscription: "Melo is fair. Karone is fair. The boy is fair."

Accession # 1971.258.2

The weight of the wounded or dead Amazon is beautifully conveyed by the lowered spears and shield carried by her companion.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
