Wild Goat Style - III

Friezes representing parades of fantastic and real animals cover the surface of this trefoil oinochoe.

On the shoulder, sphinx between two dears; on the main body, parade of grazing goats; on the lower band lotus buds and flowers.

Stylized triangles, swastikas, rosettes, and abstract floral motifs fill the free surface. The neck is decorated with the typical “Rhodian” cable pattern.
