- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Corinthian, ca. 575 to 550 BCE. A very attractive aryballos (a vessel used to hold scented oils and perfumes in the bath) of a classic globular form with a circular flat rim and a single wide strap handle joining rim to shoulder. The body is decorated with warriors striding in profile and carrying large shields. Above and behind the figures' heads are three striated bands; frets adorn the shoulder; a band of dots embellishes the rim's profile; and a calligraphic T-like motif decorates the handle. In addition, radiating concentric circles adorn the face of the rim as well as the base. What's more, incised marks delineate the figures' eyes, outline their helmets, and further embellish their shields. A lovely example, sweet and petite with an impressive iconographic/decorative program. Size: 2.25" W x 2.25" H (5.7 cm x 5.7 cm)
