Shard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The shard by ancient Greek artist Euphronios, is a curved terracotta piece with a reddish-brown color. The shard features a black design on its exterior, which appears to be a stylized floral or scroll pattern. The design consists of two symmetrical curved elements with rounded tops, resembling leaves or petals, and a curved line running along the top edge of the shard. The background of the shard is a plain, light-colored surface, likely a table or display surface. The shard is positioned with its curved side facing upwards and its flat edge facing downwards.
