- Lot Description
Ancient Europe, Northern Italy, Etruria, Etruscan culture, Orientalizing period, ca. second half of the 6th century BCE. An extraordinary hand-built terracotta storage vessel of a sizable form with a squat foot, a broad lower body, a carinated midsection with dozens of serrations, a corseted body with a broad, flared rim, a pair of broad strap handles with four vertical grooves, a deep interior cavity, and a domed, form-fitting lid surmounted by a highly stylized sea horse. Hundreds of incised striations form registers of repeating triangular and linear motifs on the neck and body, broad columns on the rim, and ovoid tongues on the lower body. Illustrated on one side of the midsection is a pair of swans with spread wings, slender necks, and narrow beaks, and the other bears a pair of stylized leopards with bent legs and spotted bodies. The lid features conical nodules enclosed within incised concentric columns, and the sea horse has a curled tail, a cylindrical snout, a crested mane, and a densely spotted body. Size (w/ lid): 18.75" W x 20.125" H (47.6 cm x 51.1 cm)
