- Lot Description
Greece, Athens (Attic), ca. 5th century CE. An oh so sweet and petite Attic lekythos vessel decorated via the black-figure technique with details skillfully incised as well as delineated in fugitive red and white pigment. The iconographic program features a seated leader or god flanked by four armed warriors or hunters with two dynamic animals - a rabbit and hound perhaps - running across the shoulder. An elegant vessel, replete with a lovely form and exciting iconography. Size: 2.7" in diameter x 5.625" H (6.9 cm x 14.3 cm)
Lekythoi were used for storing oil employed for a wide variety of purposes in the Classical World. While larger examples were usually designated for keeping olive oil, relatively smaller more delicate examples were reserved for the bath to store precious unguents of sweet and floral aromas. This beautiful vessel was most likely created for an elegant lady's toilette and perhaps depicted her husband or father.
Provenance: ex Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan USA acquired before 2000
