- Lot Description
Greece, Corinth, Rhodes, or eastern Greece, Archaic period, ca. 700 to 600 BCE. A very attractive aryballos (a vessel used to hold scented oils and perfumes in the bath) of a classic globular form with a short cylindrical neck, a circular flat rim and a single wide strap handle joining rim to shoulder. The body is decorated in the "Orientalizing" style via the black-figure technique with various animals: a large bird - perhaps a goose, duck, or swan - presented in composite profile with outspread wings just below the handle, flanked by a similar avian creature depicted in profile and a magnificent roaring lion, also depicted in profile. Various abstract organic motifs, perhaps wings and hoof prints, adorn the field, and details are delineated with incised marks and fugitive red pigment. Corinthian ceramics of the Orientalizing Period like this example showed the influence of eastern trade connections with the city - presenting stylized plants and animal friezes, inspired by trade with the Levant, Egypt, and Assyria. Size: 3.75" in diameter x 4" H (9.5 cm x 10.2 cm)
In addition to this exotic figural program, the vessel is also decorated with a band of radiating rays on the shoulder as well as around the mouth, and repeated large dots adorning the vertical face of the rim. An exquisite piece that exemplifies the Orientalizing style.
Provenance: ex- Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan USA acquired before 2000
