These fragments were part of a large mixing bowl (column krater) that was made in Corinth, where black-figure painting was invented. Black slip was used on most of the figures; this slip would have been thinned out to paint the spear shafts, shields, helmet crests, and horses’ reins. A matte paint was employed in detail work on the horses’ manes and the soldiers’ helmets.
