This image shows a page from a museum catalog or exhibition guide. It contains two separate images of artworks, each with a description underneath.

  1. On the left side, there is an image of a kylix (a type of ancient Greek drinking vessel). The kylix is attributed to the Foundry Painter, from Attica, around 480 B.C. The description specifies it is in the red-figure style and has a diameter of 3½" x 9". It is described as a gift from Edward P. Warren, class of 1883. The kylix features a depiction of a figure holding a staff and wearing a helmet, with a crab at the center of the design.

  2. On the right side, there is a photograph of a marble statue labeled as "Meleager." It is described as a Roman copy of a Greek 4th-century B.C. statue in the style of Scopas. The statue is 36⅜" x 22⅜" and was a bequest to the museum from Mrs. Kenneth G.T. Webster.

The catalog page itself appears to be part of an older document, as it is housed in a folder with a label that mentions "Annual Meeting Of Museum Has Harvard Speaker," and references to the Fogg Art Museum and the National Gallery, London, suggesting it is from a historical context.
