- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Athens, Attic, ca. 4th century BCE. An exceedingly rare example of a mold-formed pottery aryballos in the form of a shoe-covered right foot. The vessel features a flat base with a shallow arch, a stable heel, a pointed toe, a protruding ankle bulge, a funnel mouth, and a slender handle arching between the cylindrical neck and the Achilles tendon. The 'body' of the podiatric vessel is covered in deep orange-hued slip, and the neck and handle are further adorned with black glaze. An extraordinary example of Attic pottery artistry! Size: 3.75" L x 1" W x 2.7" H (9.5 cm x 2.5 cm x 6.9 cm).
For a strikingly similar example, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 41.162.25: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/254192
