Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A fine wheel-thrown lidded lekanis, the lid beautifully decorated via the red-figure technique with two Ladies of Fashion wearing a beaded saccos (head scarf) over an upswept coiffure, drop earrings, and a beaded necklace, these visages separated by stylized palmettes, with frets on the vertical rim that meets the body below. Twin applied loop handles protrude from either side of the raised bowl. The large knob atop the lid features a nested chevron pattern on its depression, and the vessel sits upon a concave, tiered foot. Size: 5.25" W handlespan x 3.5" H (13.3 cm x 8.9 cm)
Lidded lekanides were cosmetic containers, often given by fathers to brides on their wedding day. Interestingly, the lady of fashion motif complements this, as scholars believe they represented young women on their wedding day.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired between 2011 and 2012
