Ancient Greek glazed terracotta kylix (cup with a shallow bowl and a stem), ca. 350 BC.
Dimensions: 14.4 x 11 cm
The primary use for the kylix was drinking wine (usually mixed with water, and sometimes other flavourings) at a symposium or male "drinking party" in the ancient Greek world, so they are often decorated with scenes of a humorous, light-hearted, or sexual nature that would only become visible when the cup was drained.
