- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Greek colony of Canosa, c. 325 BCE. A large and quite attractive section of a funerary vessel rendered in the form of a female bust with a visage comprised of naturalistic almond-shaped eyes that look upward as if toward the celestial realm, slender brows with finely delineated hairs, an aquiline nose, closed heart-shaped pink lips, slender facial contours, and a jutting chin. Her wavy brunette coiffure is topped by a bright pink headdress or diadem, and her ears are adorned by turquoise earrings. As is customary with Canosan pottery, the artist embellished the form with liberal fugitive pigments - cotton candy pink, vibrant turquoise, warm sienna, peach, and white. Size: 4.125" W x 6.75" H (10.5 cm x 17.1 cm)
This piece is part of the Hellenistic polychrome tradition associated with the Canosa. During the early 4th century BCE, Canosa was actually a major center of red-figure vase creation; however, later in the century and certainly by the 3rd century BCE, this tradition was replaced by pottery painted in lively pastel hues on a white ground, like this example.
