Mixing bowl with the exposure of baby Aegisthos (original) (raw)

The mixing bowl with the exposure of baby Aegisthos is an ancient Greek ceramic calyx-krater, a bowl used for mixing wine and water. Manufactured in Taras (modern Taranto) in 330–320 BC, it is thought to be the only known artistic depiction of a lost play by Sophocles, Thyestes at Sikyon. It is currently on display in gallery 215C of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, after having been purchased by them from Fritz Bürki and Son on February 25, 1987.
