Plate with Eros

Ascoli Satriano Painter (Greek, active ca. 340-320 BC) (Artist)
ca. 340-320 BCE (Hellenistic)
terracotta; red figure
(Ancient Greece )

Female heads and Eros figures are common features on the vases attributed to the Ascoli Satriano Painter. His real name is unknown, and he has been named after a northern Apulian town, where many of his vases have been found. Eros is depicted as a winged youth about to place a wreath as an offering on the "cippus" (pillar) in front of him.
