Black figure Kylix with hoplite

The kylix was the quintessential ancient Greek drinking vessel, used primarily during symposia. Characterized by its wide bowl, shallow depth, and two horizontal handles, it allowed wine to be enjoyed socially and ceremonially.

This particular piece is a faithful museum-quality replica, crafted in the black-figure style that flourished in 6th-century BCE Attica. It features a hoplite—a heavily armored Greek infantryman—in full battle attire with spear, shield, and crested helmet. Such scenes were popular on symposium ware, celebrating valor and heroism in Greek culture.

A unique handcrafted artifact, perfect for collectors, enthusiasts of classical art, or as a refined corporate gift
