- 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 resulting in an elegant near-symmetrical presentation. A pair of applied horizontal loop handles and a round foot grace the wide lipped body. The lid features a knob-shaped projecting handle with a stylized rosette in tondo, and the top of the lid is adorned by a pair of red-figure 'ladies of fashion' with kekryphalos hairstyles and serene visages alternating with a pair of stylized palmettes. Repeating frets adorn the profiles of the lid and base. All is finely delineated via the red-figure technique with some added fugitive white pigment in areas. Size: 5.875" W handlespan x 4.125" H (14.9 cm x 10.5 cm)
Lidded lekanides were cosmetic containers, often given by fathers to brides on their wedding day. The lady of fashion motif complements this - often thought to represent a young woman on her wedding day. Each lady wears a kekryphalos hairstyle, earrings, and a beaded necklace. This vessel has a very interesting iridescent patina that gives it a sparkling appearance.
Provenance: private Owen collection, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA, acquired in the 1990s from a US-based dealer
