This is a Lekythos made in 480 BC by Brygos and is made out of Terracotta. It is a small vase used to hold oils or perfumes. The narrow opening at the top of the piece it what makes it unique in the purpose it was designed for. The woman on the from is playing a double reeded wind instrument called and aulos. with her ionic style toga and fringed sitting cushion this is a idealistic scene.
