Bonn University Academic Art Museum Ancient Greek Pottery

A piece of ancient Greek pottery collected in the Academic Art Museum of Bonn University. This bowl is said to have been discovered at the Diplon Gate in Athens, around 750 BC to 735 BC, and was produced in the Attica region. This vessel is characterized by steep edges and a horizontal band like handle. The upper wall is divided into panels with stars, Capricorn, swastika, and checkerboard patterns. The wide stripes between the handles are divided into three panels: a display zigzag band in the middle and birds on both sides. The handle itself is also decorated with a zigzag band. It is an outstanding representative of ancient Greek pottery art and an important physical evidence for studying ancient Greek culture and artistic style
