Greek Art in the Archaic Period [7th - 6th century BC]- II

Hydria decorated with a parade of sphinxes on the neck zone, and palmettes and running spirals on the body. On vase shoulder and lower body, bands filled by geometrical motifs complete the decoration.

Hydria attributed to the “Mesogeia Painter”, conventional name derived by several hydriai decorated by the same artist and discovered in the Mesogeia.
