A hydria (plural hydriai) is a type of Greek pottery used for carrying water. The hydria has three handles. Two horizontal handles on either side of the body of the pot were used for lifting and carrying the pot. The third handle, a vertical one, located in the center of the other two handles, was used when pouring water. This water vessel can be found in both red- and black-figure technique. They often depicted scenes of Greek mythology that reflected moral and social obligations. By the mid-5th century BC, Greek artisans were also creating hydria from bronze, some of which were elaborately decorated with finely detailed figures. A 6th-century example is in the Historisches Museum, Berne.〔Cunliffe, Barry, ''The Ancient Celts'' (Penguin, 1999), fig. 36 on p. 53.〕 Such vessels were also known from the Minoan times. ==See also== * Aquamanile * Corpus vasorum antiquorum * Hydriske * Jug (container) * Pitcher (container) * ''Regina Vasorum'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「hydria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
