About the work
This terracotta oil flask celebrates ancient Greek might at sea. Athena, the goddess of war and the patron saint of Athens, wears her customary helmet. She holds a spear in one hand and the curved stern of a warship in the other. This vase may commemorate an Athenian victory following the city-state’s major investment in enlarging their navy.
