- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A fine wheel-thrown lekanis with a shallow basin, pedestal foot, and lid beautifully decorated via the red-figure technique with 2 Ladies of Fashion, each adorned with fugitive white pigment creating elegant ornamentation. The lovely ladies are each dressed in a beaded saccos over an upswept coiffure and a beaded necklace. These ancient visages are separated by stylized palmettes. A cresting wave motif additionally adorns the outer periphery of the rim, meeting the black-painted body below. Twin applied loop handles protrude from either side of the raised bowl. The large knob atop the lid features a nested chevron pattern on its depression, and the vessel sits upon a concave, tiered foot. Size: 5.1" in diameter x 3.9" H (13 cm x 9.9 cm)
Lidded lekanides were cosmetic containers, often given by fathers to brides on their wedding day. Interestingly, the lady of fashion motif complements this, as scholars believe they represented young women on their wedding day.
