This print showcases an exquisite Oinochoe (Pitcher) in the Shape of a Female Head, dating back to around 450 BCE. Created by the talented Canessa Class, this artifact is a testament to the ancient Greek civilization and their remarkable craftsmanship. The pitcher, made from terracotta or earthenware, features intricate details that highlight the skill and artistry of its creator. The female head shape adds a touch of elegance and uniqueness to this functional container. Its vibrant colors, including bichrome IV and red figure designs, bring life to this ancient piece. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Ancient Mediterranean exhibition, this artifact offers us a glimpse into Greece's rich history and cultural heritage.
