Description
Enhance your decor with a Red figure Ceramic Psykter depicting Hoplites mounted on dolphins. It is a Replica from Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York, attributed to Oltos, ca. 520-510BCE. Hoplites astride dolphins encircle the body of this psykter, a vessel used for cooling wine at symposia (drinking parties). After filling the psykter with wine, participants would have placed it inside a large krater containing cold water. As the psykter bobbed in the water, the dolphins would have appeared as if diving into and leaping from the depths of the krater.
