The Euphronios krater (or Sarpedon krater) is an ancient Greek terra cotta krater, a bowl used for mixing wine with water. Created around the year 515 BC, it is considered one of the finest Greek vase in existence artifacts and is the only complete example of the surviving 27 vases painted by the renowned Euphronios. The vase was repatriated to Italy under an agreement negotiated in February 2006 but used to be part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1972 to 2008, and is now in the collection of the National Etruscan Museum, in the Villa Giulia in Rome.
