- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Geometric Period, ca. 8th century BCE. A sizable wheel-thrown pottery mug with a planar base, a bulbous body which narrows at the neck line, a gradually-flaring rim, and an arching strap handle with a stabilizing peg in the center. The lower body is adorned with thick bands of concentric circles and dotted diamond shapes in black slip, and the neck displays a register of parabolic arches filled with tight latticework patterns. More concentric circles trace around the rim, and a large "X" is situated on the exterior of the handle. A wonderful mug created during a fascinating period in Greek history. Size: 4.8" W x 5.25" H (12.2 cm x 13.3 cm).
