- Lot Description
South Italic, Apulia region, ca. 330 BCE. A beautiful pelike vessel decorated via the red figure technique. Used for storing wine, the form presents a globular body with a characteristically "sagging" belly, a short neck, bilateral loop handles, and a flared everted lip upon a concave base. One side features a seated nude youth or athlete holding a patera in his upraised right hand and a wreath in his lowered left hand. On the opposite side is a seated maenad wearing a lovely chiton with delineated drapery folds cascading over her body, her face in profile with delicate features topped by an updo adorned in a sakkos, and holding a very large flower (note the difference in scale). In addition to this figural imagery, beneath each handle is a composite palmette, and an egg and dart band adorns the neck. Size: 3.875" in diameter around belly x 6.75" H (9.8 cm x 17.1 cm)
Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection acquired before 2000
