Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The text showcases a selection of vessels from the Ashmolean's collection. Most of the pots were made in Corinth and Athens and transported to Italy and Sicily where they served as grave offerings. Many are decorated with figures, which give an insight into Greek religion, warfare, sport, party-going and craftmanship. This book forms part of a series on objects represented in the museum, providing a stimulating introduction for the general reader and a useful guide for the expert.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 80).
