Decorated Amphora with Ibex Head

Cleveland Museum of Art

Tan clay amphora with a wide body and a narrow neck that opens into a flared mouth with rough edges. The amphora has a protruding ibex head on its front with a black and white face and curved horns that point backwards. The body of the vessel features a painted design in red, white, and black. The design consists of concentric bands of geometric patterns, including lines, triangles, and zigzags. The background of the image is dark gray to black, with the amphora casting a subtle shadow on the surface below.
