Corinthian Black-Figure Bowl in the Academic Art Museum Bonn (Inv. 1674)

The bowl is dated around 575 BC and, together with other vessels of the same group, belongs to the heyday of the archaic pottery production in Corinth. Its findspot is not known. The very thin-walled vessel has a low foot, a bulbous body, a sharply set off rim and horizontally attached handles. The body shows a circumferential frieze with groups of two or three fighting warriors on the one side and horsemen galloping to the left on the other side. Underneath the handles a swan and a flying eagle are depicted. Rosettes fill the empty spaces between the figures.
