Hypobibazon class
As Hypobibazon class (English Hypobibazon class ) is a small class Attic - black-figure Bauchamphoren referred. The vases in the class are dated around 520-510 BC. Dated.
The Hypobibazon class got its name from John D. Beazley after the picture on a vase from the Kerameikos in Athens showing a warrior mounting a horse. The class consists of abdominal amphorae , which have an older shape with rounded feet and handles, making them more modern; a vase shape that was rather rare at the time. Key meanders above the image fields are typical of the group . The image fields are filled with only a few figures, which are therefore particularly noticeable. Motifs outside of the myth are shown, including a fisherman between a dog and a crouching boy, men carrying vessels, and a man with a bowl on a horse, accompanied by a woman playing the flute.
