Hidria Ancient Greek Ceramic Container - Paul Getty Museum
Greek for ὑδρία, it is an ancient Greek ceramic container primarily used for storing and transporting water. The characteristic of this ceramic is that it has three handles: two horizontal side handles for lifting the container, and a vertical rear handle for pouring the contents. Around 550 BC, a hidria was produced in the Attica region, depicting scenes of Dionysus, Ariadne, and Poseidon. This artwork is currently housed in the Paul Getty Museum. This ancient Greek ceramic work not only showcases the craftsmanship of the time, but also reflects Greek mythology and religious beliefs.
