Dating back to the 13th or 14th century BCE, this piece of pottery is a testament to the advanced artistic skills of the Greeks during the Mycenaean period. The vase's design features two brave warriors, each clad in armor and wielding a spear, mounted on a galloping horse. A loyal dog accompanies the warriors, adding a sense of companionship and protection to the scene. The intricate details of the warriors' armor, the muscular forms of the horses, and the expressive features of the dog are all expertly rendered in bold red and brown hues. The fragmented state of the vase speaks to its age and the passage of time, reminding us of the historical significance of this artifact.
