- Lot Description
Greek Empire, Archaic Period, ca. 7th to 6th century BCE; Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A lovely pair of pottery fragments, each depicting the head of a figure with a thick black coiffure. Perhaps from an Apulian bell krater, the first fragment displays the bust of a bare-chested, red-figure male shown in profile as he gazes downwards; holding a slender spear or staff - perhaps a Dionysian thyrsos - against his left shoulder. A petite band of tongues is shown in the upper right corner, while both the ground and verso are coated in a rich black glaze. Alternatively, the other fragment is from the Archaic period and presents the head of a female in 3/4 view with huge eyes, a straight nose, a slanted mouth, and a round chin, all delineated in black glaze on a bare terracotta ground. The tops of a tunic can be seen on each shoulder and a design of horizontal bands in black and grey pigments adorns the area above. Size (of largest): 3" W x 4" H (7.6 cm x 10.2 cm)
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
