- Lot Description
Classical World, Magna Graecia, southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 325 to 300 BCE. A beautifully preserved, elegant red-figure bail amphora, a rare form of South Italic vessel. Each side features a different richly dressed woman. The first appears youthful, and stands posed as if she is in her toilette. She is wearing earrings, a necklace, bracelets and a diadem, and she is looking into a mirror which she is holding in her right hand. The other woman appears matronly, her entire body draped in her himation, wearing a large diadem but otherwise unadorned. Between the women are palmettes/anthemions with the same painted on the tall neck. The shoulder has a wave form flowing around its circumference. The amphora has a slender body with a cylinder-shaped neck, opening up at the top; the loop handle is twisted and pierced at the top. The vessel is made of reddish buff clay and has a dark brown glaze; a red wash, on which white paint was applied for the details. Size: 3.8" W x 14.2" H (9.7 cm x 36.1 cm)
Apulia was the center of painting of this style for the South Italic Greek colonies, with half of all surviving red-figure vessels coming from that area. Most of these were produced at Taras, the large Greek polis in the region. This vessel was probably used to memorialize a woman and may have been placed into her grave as an offering.
