Sunday Drop-In Tour | Greek Pottery in the Ancient World
Bill Kryska
When envisioning iconic artifacts of the ancient world, perhaps red- and black-figure Greek pottery comes to mind for you. From the simple to the decorative, the everyday to the ceremonial, such vessels served numerous purposes in the lives of ancient Greeks—much like our own dishes in our cabinets at home. This drop-in tour explores the Greek pottery on display at the Kelsey, discussing how various pieces were made and what they represent.
