Terracotta neck-amphora (jar) ca. 550–540 Attributed to the Affecter Obverse and reverse, on the shoulder, horseman setting out; on the neck, men pursuing youths; under each handle, Pegasos, the mythical winged horseThe decoration derives entirely from the Athenian man's world. Because one onlooker proffers an aryballos (oil flask), the protagonists in the primary zone may be returning home rather than departing. The scenes on the neck probably pertain to the gymnasium where older trainers mingle with the Terracotta neck-amphora (jar). Greek, Attic. ca. 550–540 Terracotta
