Red-Figure Bail Amphora (Storage Vessel): Draped Women
A terracotta vase with a black and orange color scheme. The vase features a narrow base that widens into a bulbous body, then narrows to a cylindrical neck and flares out at the lip. The base and neck are primarily black, while the body and lip are primarily orange. The lip features a thin black line around its edge and a handle on top. The neck has a series of thin black vertical lines. The body showcases a scene of four draped women depicted in orange against a black background. The women are adorned in long dresses. The scene is framed by decorative orange floral motifs on either side. The vase stands on a gray surface against a dark gray background.
