It is an ancient Greek pottery, whose style originated in Athens in the 7th century BC and belongs to the early Attic period. The characteristic of this pottery is that it began to abandon abstract geometric patterns and instead adopted a naturalistic style influenced by Near Eastern art. Common decorative themes include Greek mythological scenes, animal and floral patterns. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This work depicts the battle scene between Hercules and the centaur Nessus. Hercules holds a sword and is grabbing the hair of Nessus, who is attempting to kidnap his wife Daenera. The artistic expression of pottery during this period was innovative and of great cultural and historical significance.
