THE MET!


Terracotta amphora jar -- Greek ca. 540 B.C. -- earliest preserved case of Greek potter Andolcides.
I chose to use this piece as my inspiration because this is an extremely early portrayal of warlike images with the horses and chariots. Since my concentration is about global problems, war being one of them, I figured this would be a great piece to showcase how war has evolved from B.C. to the present. The images are really repetitive and caught my eye along with the beautiful worksmanship, so I'll try to go off that and create a really cool piece.
