Lekythos

This is a Lekythos, a small ancient Greek vessel used for containing oil or perfume. This one is probably from late 5th century B.C.
My goal here was to re-model a damaged object from a private collection and try to make it look as it could have been in the ancient past. I had to extrapolate from the remaining parts of the original vase, and use other references to achieve all the characters.
I wanted to add a bit of life around this model so I created a simple scene in Blender, by adding a few props and the hands of a craftsman.
