Red-figured Greek Red-Figure Kantharos (Drinking Vessels) with Female Heads 320-310 BCE Terracotta

"Vase painters in Apulia developed two major styles: the Plain style characterized by simple decoration and few figures, and the Ornate style, which featured multi-figure colorful scenes, lavish ornaments, and intricate floral compositions. A large female head is a typical decoration for drinking vessels like this one, small-scale vases, cups, and plates created in the Plain style." - Walters Art Museum
