Birdseed Workshop
The bird food workshop (also known as the bird food group ) was an Attic workshop - a late Geometric potter and vase painter, whose creative period dates from 760 to 700 BC. Is dated.
Since research cannot classify the rather unusual vases from the bird food workshop in the classical tradition of Attic-geometric vases, this group is outside this order. The workshop got its emergency name because of its special decoration. A number of birds are connected by a chain of dots ("bird food") running on their feet and another between the beak and back of the fore bird. The depiction of mournful women in dragging clothes and with arched arms is also striking . The main representative of the group was the birdseed painter .
In the Staatliche Antikensammlungen in Munich there is a jug that shows a shipwreck on the neck. It is stylistically close to the works of the bird feed workshop.
