This image depicts an ancient Greek black-figure ceramic, specifically a plate or shallow dish known as a kylix. The artwork illustrates a figure wearing classical Greek attire, prominently featuring a chiton, an upper garment, and a himation, a draped garment. The figure is poised with their right arm extended, holding an object, likely a piece of weaponry or tool. The attire and posture suggest the figure may represent a character from Greek mythology or history, often seen in Greek ceramic art. The kylix exhibits a contrast between the reddish-orange of the terracotta clay and the glossy black slip, which was a typical color scheme in Athenian vase painting. This color technique is a characteristic of the black-figure style, where details were incised into the black to reveal the red beneath. The plate is encircled by a concentric pattern, with a broad, reserved band framing the central scene.
