What are the characteristics of the black painted style bottle paintings of Ancient Greek paintings of the Archaic period?

Ancient Greek black-painted style bottle painting was popular from the early 6th century BC to the 5th century BC. This refers to the artistic style of depicting images in a special black paint on clay tires of red or yellowish-brown pottery. Bottle paintings in this style mostly show episodic scenes, with mythological themes and everyday life. Its famous representative work is Achilles and Aias Playing Dice, in which Achilles and Aias, two heroes of the Loi War, use a break in the battle to play dice. The action of the two men bending down and the curve of the shape of the vessel are exactly the same, so that the composition of the picture and the shape of the vessel have achieved a high degree of harmony.
