Foot-shaped aryballos, aryballos, antique vessel; Yellow-orange clay with mica; matte black engobe on the surface.

End of the 6th–beginning of the 5th century BC; unknown Ionian workshop; Ionia Turkey/Greece., An object shaped like a foot with an attached ankle and short calf, rendered in earthy tan and beige tones with areas of darker brown and black, shows a textured surface with carved lines suggesting toes and instep on the forepart and layered, irregular surface on the ankle and heel; the top of the calf has a circular, dish-like element with radiating grooves...
