- Lot Description
Classical World, Italy, Etruria, ca. late 7th to 6th century BCE. A lovely wheel-thrown blackware pottery kyathos with a squat foot, a hemispherical lower body surmounted by a tall, flared rim, and a high-arching handle with a conical thumb rest protruding from the top. Overlooking the basin is a petite maskette depicting a female gorgon with large eyes and a coiffure of curled nodules. The presence of a gorgon speaks to the Classical world of mythology; the concept of the gorgon is at least as old as Homer and continued to be used as a monstrous symbol throughout the Roman period. Bucchero is a specifically Etruscan technique for firing pottery which results in a smooth, lustrous, jet-black finish. This type of vessel was perhaps made to be buried with offerings, as was often the case for such fine Etruscan pottery. Size: 4" W x 5.25" H (10.2 cm x 13.3 cm)
Provenance: private Colorado, USA collection; ex-private Brown collection; exhibited at the San Antonio Art Museum, San Antonio, Texas, USA
