Column Krater by the Pig-Painter, Red-figure terracotta, Overall: 39.3 cm (15 7/16 in.). Gift of Mrs. Leonard C. Hanna 1924.197

Side A: revelry scene (Komos), vomiting man with a kylix and a boy (probably a slave, given his nudity) with a lyre and a bucket (situla).

Side B: a dancing youth

The Cleveland Museum says: The huge lettering IMONO on the back is a "graffito" which may be an owner's name or may have had something to do with the merchandising of the pot. It looks more like SIMONO to me! Side A: Komos scene (reveling) A man vomiting and a boy with a lyre and situla Side B: A dancing youth with a cup

Bronze man and centaur (via The Met), Mid 8th C., approx 4.5″/11 cm high. Accession number: 17.190.2072

The Met says: Half man, half horse, the centaurs were thought to inhabit remote wooded areas. In much of Greek art, they appear in combat with humans and, by implication, are the antithesis of civilized men. The classic rendering of this subject can be seen in the metopes of the Parthenon in Athens. It is, however, already fully presented in this bronze statuette. The outcome of the conflict is indicated by the end of the spear preserved in the centaur's left flank and by the greater height of the man.

This one is more interesting, though - the human body is complete and the horse hindquarters are attached to the small of his back! I call this “The Other Centaur.” Rare, but not unique
