Panathenaic Amphora, runner

The Panathenaic Games, held every four years in Athens, in honour of the goddess Athena (the patron deity of the city in ancient times), were a religious festival that incorporated ceremony, cultural events, and athletic competitions. The prizes of the games were large ceramic vessels filled with olive oil, called Panathenaic amphorae. They had sacramental value and were dedicated to the patron deity. Their decoration follows the same tradition for centuries: On the main side, the goddess Athena, and on the other a scene from the event for which they were an award. In the ancient world, these amphorae-prizes were very valuable and sought after, due to their excellent decoration and high symbolism. This fragment is a detail from a Panathenaic amphora that is exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Athens.

Handmade and hand painted.
