- Lot Description
Classical World, Etruria, ca. 6th century BCE. A gorgeously-preserved ceramic column krater, a rare native form in Etruria, where imported Attic column kraters were more common. The surface is painted with black-figure swans on one side and a deer, its head down as if grazing, on the other. Swans are also painted beneath the loop handles that rise from the shoulder to the rim. The krater is squat, with a round disc foot, a wide mouth, and a flat rim. The black figure technique originated in the Greek city of Corinth, and spread throughout Greece and the Classical world during the 6th century BCE, probably brought by immigrants from Greece. Size: 8.2" W x 7.3" H (20.8 cm x 18.5 cm)
Interestingly, Etruscan black-figure ceramics seem to have been limited to local appeal, unlike other Etruscan items like bucchero wares or bronze vessels - only a dozen Etruscan black-figure pots have been found outside of Etruria itself, most elsewhere in Italy. Within Etruria itself, they are also mainly popular in the southern urban centers like Cerveteri, Tarquinia, Vulci, Chiusi, and Orvieto, whereas they are rare in northern Etruria. This krater therefore represents an extremely local style, one that was popular only amongst a small group of people.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
