Summary[edit]

Description
English: Greek, Attic; Amphora with lid; Vases; Obverse and reverse, chariot Signed by Andokides as potter circa 540 B.C.

description from original upload: This is the earliest preserved vase with the signature of the potter Andokides. Thus it constitutes a most important piece of evidence concerning the beginnings of the artist from whose workshop the red-figure technique emerged. It shares features with vases of Nikosthenes and Group E. The shape and the allocation of ornament—the zone of ivy for instance—testify to an independent artistic personality.
