Terracotta pyxis (box), Classical, late 5th century , Greek, Attic, Terracotta; red-figure, H. 3 in. ( cm), Vases, Women and Erotes. The representation here probably has some relation to rituals for the goddess Aphrodite that took place in an outdoor, garden-like setting. Particularly conspicuous is the woman seated on a rock-like formation and isolated between two vertical foliate bands
