- Lot Description
agna Graecia, South Italy, Apulian, Xenon Group, ca. 4th century BCE. A beautiful oinochoe decorated in added red pigment with an abstract owl flanked by two laurel sprigs. The technique employed for the painted iconographic/decorative program was similar to Six's technique used by Attic black-figure painters - this involved using layers of red or white pigment on the surface and incising details, so that the black glaze shows through. A Dutch scholar by the name of Jan Six first described this technique in 1888, hence the term Six technique. A gorgeous oinochoe presenting a stunning form as well as wonderful iconography painted via this interesting technique! Size: 3.75" W (handle to opposite) x 3.125" H (9.5 cm x 7.9 cm) <br><br>This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated.
