CIRCA 625-600 B.C.

The bearded and winged male figure running across the scene is a Boread, one of the sons of Boreas - who were as fast as the wind and according to certain myths could fly. For two alabastra with Boreads see J. Chamay and J-L. Maier, Céramiques Corinthiennes, Geneva, 1984, pp. 100-103.
