Terracotta lekythos (oil flask) ca. 440–430 Attributed to the Phiale Painter Youth armingThe sureness and fluency of the Phiale Painter's drawing is evident in this representation. The placement of the helmet within a large area of black glaze in the center of the composition effectively suggests that the warrior may not return. By contrast with many lekythoi of the second quarter of the fifth century that are entirely covered with glaze, the clay-colored shoulder with black-figure decoration presents a lighter Terracotta lekythos (oil flask). Greek, Attic. ca. 440–430
