These horse-head amphorae all date to before the middle of the sixth century BCE, the approximate moment when Athenian potters began to produce a specific type of amphorae for the Panathenaic festival that took place every four\n\n\tyears in Athens. Because these Panathenaic amphorae, each filled with olive oil, functioned as prizes for ritual athletic and musical competitions, scholars have suggested that the horse-head amphorae, too, were prize vessels, awarded to the winners of equestrian contests.\n</p>","remarks":"MED_22_T2-1_CLA-Day 1 Cataloguing "},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"Acquired by the Museum in 1997 from Hicham&nbsp;Aboutaam","remarks":null}],"datebegin":-600,"sortnumber":"1997   54","published_date":"2026-02-11 08:30:23.286501","objectid":10003,"dimensions":"33.2 x 24.1 cm, diam. 23.4 cm (13 1/16 x 9 1/2 x 9 3/16 in.)\r\ndiam. foot 12.8 cm (5 1/16 in.)\r\ndiam. rim 12.8 cm (5 1/16 in.)","on_view":true}
