- Lot Description
Northern Italy, Etruscan, late 7th to early 6th century BCE. An elegant handmade blackware bucchero exhibiting a discoid foot with impressively thin walls that rise upwards to a voluminous body then inward to a rounded shoulder, a long tapered cylindrical neck, and a flared rim connected to the shoulder by 2 broad strap handles decorated in high relief. The body of the ancient vessel is adorned with a wide central register featuring a parade of 2 deer and 2 lions, all walking left, which is flanked above and below by bas relief borders with incised vertical lines followed by a ring of tightly spaced incised vertical lines. While dotted triangles with their highest point facing left embellish the bottom of the neck, long double-striated triangles travel upwards at the base, forming a circle around the foot and ending at the first . Each handle features a deep relief of 2 sphinxes walking towards the rim. Size: 7.5" in diameter x 11" H (19 cm x 27.9 cm)
A similar version of this piece, though of smaller form and with slightly altered décor, was sold at Christie's New York during an Antiquities Auction on 10 December 2004 as Lot 520 for $8,962.00. Another similar bucchero amphora can be found at the British Museum under accession number 1984,1023.2.
