Calix Ancient Greek Shallow Bowl - Madrid

It is a type of liquid used in ancient Greece for drinking, usually for drinking wine, and is commonly seen in banquets. This container is characterized by two horizontal side handles and a large-diameter shallow bowl. The Calix created by the "Hipocontista" painter is classified as a "handleless cup". This Calix depicts scenes in Greek mythology where Pelops and Hippodamia are pulled by winged carriages, and Ennomarus and Myrtilos are pulled by another carriage. Made around 520-510 BC. Currently collected in Madrid.
