This geometric hydria vase is from 800 B.C. In the early 8th century, the artist has begun to admit figure decoration to his vases, and marks the introduction of the most fundamental element in the later tradition of Classical art, the representation of men, gods, and animals. A warrior and his stately horses are depicted on this Geometric Hydria. The remainder of the ground is covered with varied geometric patterns, which encircle the piece at the top and bottom. Gallery quality reproduction made in Greece from terra-cotta, hand spun on the wheel, certified by the Greek Ministry with a pewter seal, and measures 15" x 9.5" x 26" Round.
