These exquisite vessels offer glimpses into various aspects of Greek life and mythology. One such example is the pinax depicting ritual, an ex-voto from Eleusis in Greece. This striking piece showcases the importance of religious ceremonies in ancient society. Another masterpiece is the Athenian red-figure kylix portraying Apollo offering a libation to the raven during the 5th century BC. It beautifully captures divine worship and reverence. The artistry continues with an Athenian red-figure kylix featuring Aegeus, King of Athens, symbolizing power and leadership. The Lucanian Calyx-Krater takes us to c. 400 BC, showcasing earthy tones and scenes from daily life.
