Pontic ware
Pontic ware is a prominent style of early Etruscan black-figure pottery perhaps produced in Southern Etruria and strongly influenced by East Greek art. This amphora, by the most important painter of the group, is typical for its complex narrative design of multiple friezes rich in ornament and added colors. On the left: couples banqueting. On the right centaur flanked by heralds. Lower frieze, man herding bulls.
