TheHypobibazon Class was a group ofAtticblack-figure vase painters and a type of vase. They belong to the period around 510 BC.

The conventional name Hypobibazon Class is derived from itsname vase, which depicts a warrior mounting a horse. The class consists ofbelly amphorae in a modernised form with rounded feet and handles. That vase shape was much rarer during the time of the group's activity than in earlier times. Typical for the group aremeanders above the pictorial fields. The image field itself usually contains only few figures, which are especially striking because of this. The group favoured non-mythological motifs, e.g. a fisherman (accompanied by a dog only visible as a sketch) or men carrying pottery vessels.
