Abstract

After placing the black-figure amphora inv. GV 70 in the University of Hobart's John Elliott Classics Museum within the context of early 6th-century panel amphorae, the paper focuses on imitations of this Athenian creation outside Attica and in particular in Eretria, where one of them, featuring a satyr sodomizing a deer in one panel, two warriors facing each other in the other, was found in its main necropolis in 1885. The paper comes to the conclusion that the Hobart vase, with its unique decoration consisting of a large crane in both its panels, is part of a group of vessels most likely manufactured in Eretria and exported to Etruria.
