Terracotta Storage Jar from the New York Nettos Painter's Workshop This magnificent terracotta neck-amphora is attributed to the renowned New York Nettos Painter, a master of his craft in ancient Greece. Created during the Proto-Attic period, this stunning vessel dates back to the second quarter of the 7th century B.C., a time when Attic culture was thriving. The artist's skillful hands crafted this beautiful piece from terracotta, using a medium that has stood the test of time. Measuring an impressive 42 3/4 inches in height and 22 inches in diameter, this vase is a true masterpiece of its era. Its classification as a vessel falls under the broader category of vases, a testament to its importance in ancient Greek culture.
