- Lot Description
Classical World, Etruria, ca. 5th century BCE. A large ceramic stamnos with slightly upturned handles and two nipple-like projections, one on each side. The body is decorated with raised, sinuous curves that wrap around the handles and "nipples." The body is bulbous, tapering to a very narrow leg and a diminutive disc foot. In contrast, the mouth flares out widely from the top of the vessel, with a thick, rolled rim. A raised border is around the upper part of the shoulder, mirroring the raised lines around the rest of the body. Like many examples of non-funerary stamnos (which could be painted in red-figure or black-figure motifs), this one is painted a plain black color (since aged to a brown) and varnished. Size: 14" W x 15.9" H (35.6 cm x 40.4 cm)
The word "stamnos" is still in use in modern Greek, and indeed may have been in use in ancient Etruria too. This type of vessel was used for holding wine, oil, figs, or salted food - for example, Aristophanes used a line about a "stamnos of Chian wine arriving." Many had fitted lids. Various illustrations of this type of vessel in use show it holding liquids and being used to pour.
