- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Faliscan, ca. 325 to 300 BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery oinochoe with a wide base which gradually expands to a globular body with a rounded shoulder, a cylindrical neck with a "beaked" ovoid spout, and a thick, applied strap handle with two upturned volutes flanking the spout opening. The body is decorated in red-figure with a right-facing Triton - a demigod of the seas and a messenger of Poseidon - resting with his tail to the left while holding a patera in his right hand. The shoulder boasts an ovolo register, and a standing, left-facing woman adorns the neck while wearing a flowing chiton with both arms held aloft. Both the Triton and woman are flanked by shells and spiral hooks which terminate at a stylized palmette near the lower handle terminal, and the spout rim is embellished with additional ovolo forms. Size: 6.7" W x 13.8" H (17 cm x 35.1 cm).
Beaked jugs like these (Oinochoe Shape VII) are found in Beazley Fluid Group, J.D. Beazley, Etruscan Vase-Painting, (Oxford, 1947), pl. 36/5 & 7
