- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Geometric Period, ca. 8th to 7th century BCE. A beautiful wheel-thrown pottery oinochoe with a slightly concave discoid foot, a bulbous piriform body with a tapered shoulder, a cylindrical neck surmounted by a trefoil-style pouring spout, and a slender strap handle arching between rim and shoulder. The beige-slipped vessel presents wondrous red-slip decorations including concentric bands coursing around the body, crosshatch-filled triangles along the shoulder known as "wolf's teeth," a pair of enclosed zigzagging stripes along the neck, rings beneath the spout, and linear motifs on the handle. A delicate vessel example from Geometric Greece! Size: 3.625" W x 5.5" H (9.2 cm x 14 cm).
