The development of several types from before the Vix krater until after the Derveni is analysed, and a catalogue of over one hundred given. Volute-kraters were also made in bronze during the archaic and classical period. In the second half of the fifth century, local potteries in South Italy were established that imitated Athenian work: the evolution of their earliest volute-kraters and their debt to Attic are described. The catalogue lists over six hundred examples in black-figure, red-figure and black glaze. Special attention has been paid to style, patternwork, and profile in order to identify new potters and painters, their interconnections, and their chronological framework. The central chapters study the evolution of the volute-krater in the Athenian potters' quarter from the late seventh century until the middle of the fourth. The first chapter sketches the background from which the first Attic volute-kraters emerge, as well as discussing ceramic volute-kraters made in other Greek potteries in the sixth century, including Sparta, Corinth, Northern Greece and Reggio di Calabria.
Ps: the animals/angel around Jesus depict the evangelists.This dissertation traces the developments in shape and decoration of one of the grandest mixing vessels made in Athens from the late seventh century B.C. Ps: for who wants to know: the church is also declared a UNESCO world heritage site. The walk to the church is quite long and uphill but definitely worth it once you reach your destination. It's quite unique not only because it survived the Ottoman ruling (most churches were transformed into mosks and since any devine depiction is forbidden in mosks, most works of art were destroyed or damaged in an attempt to cover them up) and because it's a depiction of Jesus instead of Madonna and child (usually depicted in the central dome) but also because it's one of the few depictions in the world of Jesus without a beard.
The mosaic displays a vision of Ezekiel (seen on the left) of a theophany or in this case Jesus(the one in the middle of the eye) coming to earth and the prophet/philosopher Habbakuk (on the right). However this church is only open from 10:00-14:00 as are the Jewish museum and a lot of other churches in the city. You should visit this church mostly for the beautiful mosaic and the friendly people watching the church who gladly answer your questions.
