APC Image: AK 1145: Black-figured amphora from Y-Z. Most of the vase is covered with a mottled red and black glaze. Above the base is a reserved band with a pattern of rays, and on either side of the body is a reserved panel. The clay is brick red and coarse, and seems to have contained some particles of limestone which turned to lime in the firing and caused the surface to flake off. Moreover, the vase was not properly polished before the glaze was applied. The marks of turning are clearly visible in many places. A nude youth with a spear in his right hand and some indistinct object in the left is standing in the centre. He appears to be walking to the right, but is looking in the opposite direction. On either side of him is a draped figure holding a spear. Above is a row of heart-shaped leaves.
