- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Athens, late Geometric Period, ca. second half of the 8th century BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery pitcher that is covered in beige-hued slip and decorated with dense panels of applied black pigment. The vessel is defined by a flat base, an inverted piriform body with a rounded shoulder, a flared rim with a thick lip, and a strap handle arching from rim to shoulder. The midsection is adorned with a sawtooth register on the lower body as well as tall archways with crosshatched interiors and rectangular frames, perhaps indicative of a series of windows within a temple. The handle features broad concentric stripes interspersed with trios of intersecting lines, and wide panels surrounding the rim and lower body once displayed solid swaths of black pigment. Size: 7.1" W x 11.4" H (18 cm x 29 cm)
