- Lot Description
Greece, Athens (Attic), ca. 4th century BCE. A lovely calyx krater depicting intriguing figural scenes and wonderful decorative motifs in the field. Side A presents a seated female - perhaps the Cretan princess Ariadne, consort of Dionysus and daughter of the Cretan King Minos - dressed in flowing garments, her skin and clothing delineated in fugitive white pigment. Behind her is Eros with grand wings and nude save the wreath adorning his curly coiffure. In front of her is a male standing in contrapposto, also nude save a cloak draped over the crook of his left arm with folds of drapery falling behind his body, and a wreath adorning his wavy coiffure. Both flanking figures gesture toward the seated female, Eros playing with the ribbons in the woman's upswept coiffure. Side B features two opposing draped youths, one leaning on a walking stick, the other holding a disc. All is delineated via the red-figure technique with added fugitive white pigment used to highlight the female's skin as well as the wreaths and garlands. Above each upraised handle is an Ionic altar. Size: 9.5" in diameter x 10.5" H (24.1 cm x 26.7 cm)
Contributing to the decorative program of this vase is a register of Greek key below each scene - at the center a square crossed by an "X" with dots occupying the interstices below. In addition, frets run around the perimeter of the outfolded rim, and a band of laurel leaves adorns the underside of the flared rim.
