Two fragments of a terracotta skyphos (deep drinking cup), Classical, ca. 420–400 B.C., Greek, South Italian, Lucanian, Terracotta; red-figure, H. 11 1/2 in. (29.2 cm), Vases, The punishment of Marsyas. Incomplete though it is, this beautiful work illustrates the South Italian predilection for large vases and the ample surface they provide for decoration. The goddess Athena invented the double flutes but rejected them because her face was disfigured when she played them
