Black-Figure Kotyle (Drinking Cup)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Black-Figure Kotyle (Drinking Cup), by an unknown artist, is a ceramic vessel with a wide mouth and two horizontal handles on either side. The body of the cup is a light beige color with a slightly darker base. The exterior features a black and reddish-brown design with geometric shapes, including circles and lines. The design appears to be painted on in a style consistent with black-figure technique. The cup has a short foot at the base. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
