- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A classic wheel-thrown pottery guttus - a vessel meant to fill oil lamps - enveloped with lustrous jet-black glaze save for a slender ring around the pedestal. The broad vessel exhibits an annular foot beneath a ribbed, discoid body, a protruding loop handle, and a tapered spout with a flared, everted rim. Protruding from the central tondo is a finely detailed portrait of Medusa, the mythical female monster with venomous snakes for hair and a gaze which could instantly turn a man to stone. The concept of a gorgon is at least as old as Homer and continued to be used as a monstrous symbol throughout the Roman and post-classical period, especially popular as decoration on pottery. Size: 5.375" W x 5.1" H (13.7 cm x 13 cm)
Provenance: private J.P. collection, Rye, Colorado, USA; ex-Bill Buffinger collection, Hollywood, California, USA; ex-Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
