Context: The Greek potters' art at its finest is evident in the beautifully balanced and proportioned forms of this amphora and the larger 1970.16. The types of painted decorative motifs on the two vases are so similar that they must be close contemporaries. However, the execution of these motifs is of much higher quality on the larger amphora.Side A: Dionysus and satyrsSide B: Warriors, a woman and an old man
