Classical World, Etruria, ca. 6th to 5th century BCE. A handsome cast bronze hydria handle adorned by a magnificent lion head - the wild feline's roaring visage presenting leering eyes, laid back ears, an open mouth brandishing sharp fangs and a long protruding tongue - all surrounded by a beautifully incised wavy mane. The vertical length of the handle is decorated with a single beaded "spine" down the center. Flanking the lion's head are two outstretched arms for fitting/attaching to a hydria. Size: 6.125" W x 5.125" H (15.6 cm x 13 cm); 5.75" H (14.6 cm) on included custom stand.
The Hydria - a vessel used primarily for fetching and pouring water - derives its name from the Greek word for "water". Vase painters oftentimes depicted hydriai, painting scenes of ladies carrying water from a fountain. Two horizontal handles extending from Hydriai were used for lifting and a vertical handle at the back was used for pouring and dipping.
Provenance: private Florida, USA collection; ex-Jacob Rosen collection, Batzra Israel; purchased at Archaeological Center Jerusalem April 2007, Lot 805
