Title: Attic Red-Figure Hydria Artist/Maker: Attributed to Painter of London E543 (Greek (Attic), active 420 B.C. - 400 B.C.) Date: 410–400 B.C. Medium: Terracotta Dimensions: Object: 19.9 × 16 × 12.5 cm (7 13/16 × 6 5/16 × 4 15/16 in.)Object (Mouth): 8.8 cm (3 7/16 in.) Place: Athens, Greece (Place Created) Culture: Greek (Attic) Object Number: 70.AE.105 Credit Line: Gift of J. Paul Getty Mark(s): Under the foot of the vase, old J. Paul Getty collection label, black ink: “I-58” Alternate Titles: Water Jar with Women (Alternate Title) Previous Attribution: Painter of London E543 (Greek (Attic), active 420 B.C. - 400 B.C.) Department: Antiquities Classification: Vessel Object Type: Hydria Three-handled hydria with three women on the body. At the center, a seated woman to left, holding a necklace. She sits on a rock and wears a chiton. Added white is used for the binding in her hair. The woman on the left, wearing a band around her head (with added white dots) and a chiton holds out a casket (decorated with stripes and circles, topped by two white balls, perhaps fruit) with her right hand and a necklace with her left. Her counterpart on the right is similarly attired, and holds a mirror and a necklace. Ovolo pattern on mouth, neck and body. The private activities of women became an increasingly popular subject for vase painters in the second half of the fifth century bc. Here the rocky outcrop situates the figures outdoors, and rather than representing daily life, the scene may convey an imagined past. Text from: www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/103SQ8

Title: Attic Red-Figure Lekythos Artist/Maker: Eucharides Painter (Greek (Attic), active about 500 - 470 B.C.) Date: about 480 B.C. Medium: Terracotta Dimensions: Object: 33.8 cm (13 5/16 in.) Place: Athens, Greece (Place Created) Culture: Greek (Attic) Object Number: 73.AE.23 Inscription(s): Underneath is a graffito in the form of an M (Johnston type 13 B) with an additional stroke. Alternate Titles: Oil Jar with a Man Holding a Lyre (Alternate Title) Department: Antiquities Classification: Vessel Object Type: Lekythos A young man holding a lyre made from a tortoise shell decorates this Athenian red-figure lekythos. He stands resting one hand on a walking stick and wearing only a mantle wrapped over one shoulder. Aristocratic Greek youths were trained in a variety of skills. In addition to athletics, boys were taught the arts of music and poetry, which were considered essential for well-bred youths to master. A lekythos was used to store and pour precious oil, and the narrow neck and bowl-shaped mouth helped conserve the expensive commodity. Lekythoi and many other vessels produced in Athenian pottery workshop were exported to Italy, and an M -shaped graffito scratched under the foot of this lekythos was a trader's mark, used to identify goods in shipment.

Title: Thymiaterion Supported by a Statuette of Nike Artist/Maker: Unknown Date: 500–475 B.C. Medium: Terracotta with white slip and polychromy (red, dark blue, black) Dimensions: Object: 44.6 × 20.7 × 8.8 cm (17 9/16 × 8 1/8 × 3 7/16 in.)Object (Incense Cup): 7 cm (2 3/4 in.) Place: Sicily, Italy (Place Created) Culture: Greek (Sicilian) Object Number: 86.AD.681 Part(s) of this Group: Statuette of Nike (86.AD.681.a)Thymiaterion Lid (86.AD.681.b) Alternate Titles: Thymiaterion (Alternate Title)Incense Burner in the Form of Nike (Alternate Title) Department: Antiquities Classification: Vessel Object Type: Thymiaterion. Nike, the winged goddess of victory, forms the support of this thymiaterion or incense burner. A dove surmounts the openwork lid of the incense bowl. The goddess gestures with her right hand, while pulling her garment to the side with her left. The thymiaterion was originally brightly colored, and still retains traces of red and blue paint. This Nike's pose and costume are similar to contemporary large-scale marble statues of women known as korai. The shape of the censer and its openwork lid also suggest the influence of metal prototypes. Text from: www.getty.edu/art/collection/object/103WEF

Title: Terracotta oinochoe (jug) Period: Classical Date: mid-4th century BCE Culture: Greek, Attic Medium: Terracotta; red-figure Dimensions: H. 9 1/4 in. (23.5 cm); diameter 6 13/16 in. (17.3 cm) Classification: Vases Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1925 Accession Number: 25.190 Pompe, the female personification of a procession, between Eros and Dionysos; names inscribed Pompe, whose mantle only accentuates her nudity, holds a wreath and looks toward Dionysos, seated and wearing a diadem. The winged Eros adjusts his sandals as though preparing to depart. The gilt openwork basket on the ground is the type used in religious processions to carry sacrificial implements to the place of sacrifice. This procession must be part of an Athenian festival in honor of Dionysos, probably the Anthesteria, which culminated in the sacred marriage of the god to the wife of the archon basileus, a high official representing the ancient Athenian kings. This is one of the most refined vase-paintings in the entire collection. The graceful figure of Pompe reflects full-scale statues of Aphrodite in the nude that were being carved in the wake of the first nude statue of the goddess created by Praxiteles in the mid-fourth century B.C.
