EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an exquisite Attic white-ground lekythos, a ceramic vessel from ancient Greece. Created by the renowned Achilles Painter in the 5th century BC, this masterpiece stands at a height of 36.8 cm and is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The artwork depicts a poignant scene at a tomb, where a woman and youth pay their respects to the deceased. The woman delicately holds both a plemochoe and an alabastron, vessels commonly used for pouring oils or perfumes during funerary rituals. The intricate details on this lekythos highlight its Athenian origins, with ornate decorations adorning its surface. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to ancient Greece, marveling at the craftsmanship and artistry that has been preserved through centuries.
