2nd half of the 6th century BCE
Not on view
Restituted
This artwork was restituted in September 2022. It is no longer in the museum’s collection.
Greek craftsmen were expert at incorporating animal forms into the design of showy bronze vessels. Here, the foreparts of winged horses seem to emerge from the rim of the plate.
