▼ Mostra di più▲ Mostra di meno

This item is an reproduction of an amphora located in Vatican Museum. It depicts Achilles and Ajax, both identified by their names added in the vase.
They are sitting across from each other, looking at a block situated between them. The board game they are playing, which might be compared to a backgammon or checkers variant, was played with a die.
Apart from the selection of this very intimate, relaxed scene as a symbol for the Trojan War, this vase-painting also showcases the talent of Exekias as an artist: the figures of both Achilles and Ajax are decorated with fine incised details, showing almost every hair.
The colors are very simple, natural pigments that could have easily been found in nature and utilized by the Ancient Greeks.Do not expect "perfection" as if these clay vases was not mass produced from a machine like many are, but by hand.
Material: Clay - Height: 35cm(14")
