Brygos Painter (5th BCE)

White ground jug, attributed to the Brygos painter, around 490 BCE. The finely dressed woman is spinning woollen thread; she holds a distaff in her left hand, and draws out a strand of wooll with her right. The wooll is attached to a hook at the top of the weighted spindle. As the thread lengthens,
the spindle sinks to the ground and the woman will have to stop, wind the thread around the spindle and start again.
The vase represents an early experiment in the technique of painting in outline on a white ground. GR 1873.8-20.304
