- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A beautiful wheel-thrown pottery lekanis with a similarly-shaped lid and lower body which creates an elegant symmetrical presentation. The wide body has a pedestal foot, a shallow bowl, and a lip to keep the lid in place. The lid boasts a similar projecting handle with a wheel of undulating waves in the tondo, and the top is adorned with a pair of red-figure 'ladies of fashion' with kekryphalos hairstyles and serene visages. These figures are often thought to represent brides, or youthful women, and they are found painted on pottery that was made to be placed in the tombs of women. Both lid and body are detailed with lustrous black glaze, and silvery iridescence has formed over some glazed areas. Size: 3.45" W x 3.8" H (8.8 cm x 9.7 cm)
Provenance: private Owen collection, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA, acquired in the 1990s from a US-based dealer

#146037Both halves are intact. There is a discoloration on the underside of the lid but this is not a repair - instead it appears to be the result of water or something else on its surface while it was in the ground. Small fissure on the top of the handle is a result of the kilning process. Tiny scratches, chips, and nicks on surface commensurate with age. Beautiful preservation of motifs and light silvery iridescence.Condition
