Attic Red Painted Pottery Box - National Museum of Athens
Depicting Leto on Delos Island, preparing to give birth to Apollo and Artemis. Originating from Eretria in the 4th century BC, it is currently housed in the National Museum of Athens. It is an ancient Greek ceramic container commonly used to store jewelry, cosmetics, or other small items. The characteristic is that its surface is decorated with a red painting style, which fills the black outline of the pottery with red, while the rest of the pottery retains its natural color or is painted black. The red painting style developed between the late 6th century BC and the 5th century BC, replacing the early black painting style.
