Hydria (Water Jar), about 515-500 BCE. A terracotta jar, wider at the top with a narrow neck and small handles, decorated in black, featuring human figures against red. One wrestles at center with a merman, creating a mass of tangled limbs, the creature's tail dominating the left portion of the scene.
