Terracotta kylix: band-cup (drinking cup), Archaic, ca. 540 B.C., Greek, Attic, Terracotta; black-figure, 3 × 7 1/4 × 6 5/16 in. (7.6 × 18.4 × 16 cm), Vases, Obverse, woman and egg-laying goose, between geese, Reverse, riders. The vignette of a woman among geese was surely observed by the painter firsthand. It is impossible for us to know, however, whether the scene alludes to a story—such as a goose that lays golden eggs—or simply presents a woman at home in contrast to the men riding out on horseback depicted on the other side
