- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, South Italic, Apulian, ca. 4th century BCE. A gorgeous lekythos created in a pottery workshop in the Apulian region of southern Italy where potters were known for introducing additional pigments to the red-figure painting technique - in this case red, yellow, and white. This example presents a white net motif adorning the voluminous vessel body with a lovely lady in profile flanked by flowering/berried vines and flourishes on the shoulder. The female's profile visage is beautifully painted, bedecked with a necklace and earring, her coiffure in an updo adorned by a sakkos. Traces of white frets grace the lower neck, and linear bands underscore the net motif and highlight the base. The form is just as elegant, boasting a stunning silhouette with a globular ovoid body, a narrow neck, a conical, almost tulip-shaped spout rising to a flat rim, and a curvaceous handle joining neck to shoulder, all upon a concave foot. Size: 2.875" in diameter x 5.75" H (7.3 cm x 14.6 cm)
Provenance: ex Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan USA acquired before 2000
