Document source description

This miniature "oinochoe," known more particularly as a "chous" ("choes" in the plural), dates to the last decade of the 5th century BCE. As is most often the fashion with small "choes," this example features scenes of children, their accoutrements, and their play. This "chous" depicts two boys. One rides on a goat; the other stands nearby holding out a bunch of grapes to his companion. Both boys are crowned, and the standing boy, who also holds a toy cart on one shoulder, is adorned with protective amulets.
