Red-Figure Squat Lekythos (Oil Vessel): Eros and Woman
Red-Figure Squat Lekythos (Oil Vessel): Eros and Woman. The vessel has a narrow neck and a wide, rounded body. The body is primarily black with a decorative band at the top and bottom. The top band features a brown design. The bottom band has a brown geometric pattern. The vessel's mouth and base are brown with visible damage and chipped edges. The artwork on the vessel depicts two figures: one is a winged male figure, likely Eros, and the other is a woman. The Eros figure has white skin with brown and blue accents; he is on the left, wearing wings on his back, and appears to be holding or reaching for something. The woman on the right has white skin with blue clothing; she holds a brown object. The background of the image is dark gray, transitioning to light gray at the bottom, with the vessel casting a shadow.
