| AUTHOR | the Reed Painter - Greece |
| MEDIA | White ground lekythos painted with egg tempera pigment |
| SIZE | 49 cm tall |
| LOCATION | Greece - Athens - Archeological Museum |
| NOTES | From Eretria on Euboea, Greece.
On this lekythos (a type of Greek pottery used for storing oil, especially olive oil), a warrior in front of a grave slumps wearily, regarded mournfully by his disconsolate lover. A compelling image of loss and remembrance. Note the auburn hair of the figures. |
