Crater with columned attic decorated in red figures, dating back to 470 - 460 BC.

The main scene depicts a centauromachy: a battle between centaurs, creatures that are half man and half horse, and Lapiths, a mythological population from Thessaly, Greece.

This iconographic motif is very common in Greek art as it symbolizes the conflict between civilization and barbarism.
