- Lot Description
Greece, Corinth, Rhodes or eastern Greece, Archaic Period, ca. 7th to 6th century BCE. A charming aryballos with a motif of a fierce lion's head in profile on one side of its body. Seven-pointed flowers or stars are in front of the lion's open, snarling mouth and behind his magnificent mane. Black pigment with incised lines as well as a brilliant wine-red pigment create the image. An aryballos is a vessel with a small, round/ovoid body and a narrow neck terminating in a slightly flared, very narrow spout. The broad, flat lip is designed to prevent spillage. Underneath the lip is a tiny loop, perhaps so that this vessel could be worn on a cord at the waist or around the neck. The iconography on this piece is from the "Orientalizing Period," when Corinthian pottery items showed the influence of eastern trade connections with the city - creating art with stylized plants and animal friezes, inspired by trade with the Levant, Egypt, and Assyria. Size: 1.7" W x 3.05" H (4.3 cm x 7.7 cm); 3.45" H (8.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired in the 1970s to mid-1980s
