Photograph of a Milesian oinochoe (jug) decorated with a frieze of grazing wild goats, made in Miletos around 590â560 BC and now held in the British Museum, London. The vessel is characteristic of East Greek pottery of the Orientalising period, featuring repeated animal motifs arranged in a continuous band. The decoration reflects Near Eastern influence, rhythmic patterning, and the integration of functional form with lively animal imagery in early Greek ceramic art.
