- Lot Description
Ca. 330 - 300 BC A red-figure pottery olpe with a bulbous body, and a short, splayed foot. The neck is funnel shaped and has a flanged mouth. The two vertical handles serve the purpose of lifting the vessel when filled with water, while a vertical handle at the back facilitates pouring and holding the vase. The olpe's lip is completely black. Beneath the vertical handles, a large fan-shaped palmette is flanked by stylised plant scrolls on each side. On the neck, there is a wave motif. Side "A" of the Olpe is decorated with a scene presenting a standing crowned youth holding a large patera in the left hand and what looks to be a snake in his right. Side "B" of the ople depicts a Maenad in a long tunic with her hair gathered in a topknot. She also wears a beaded necklace and bracelets on both wrists. Her right hand holds a mirror, while her left is outstretched, holding a large wreath. For similar see: Christie's Live Auction 19992, Antiquities, Lot. 20.
