Légende

Attic Red-Figure Volute Krater, 480-470 BC. Additional Info: Scenes from the labors of the Greek hero Herakles encircle the neck of this Athenian red-figure volute-krater. An intense red glaze covers the body of this volute-krater. Coral-red technique, the application of an intentional red surface on a vase, was an unusual process used almost exclusively on cups and small vessels. It may have entailed using a subtly different clay or firing the vase more than once. Its use on a large vase like this krater is extremely rare.
