Vessel with Swan and Male Rider

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a vessel with a swan and male rider. The vessel is made of dark-colored material and features a round body with a wide base and a curved spout on the right side. The body has engraved designs around it. A curved tail-like protrusion extends from the back of the vessel. A male figure sits on top of the vessel on what appears to be a swan. The swan's head protrudes from the right side of the vessel. The male figure in a short tunic is holding an object. The background is light gray and the object casts a shadow to the right. The image is in black and white.
