- Lot Description
Greece, Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 300 BCE. A strikingly large trefoil oinochoe created in a pottery workshop in the Apulia region of southern Italy. The body is decorated on top and bottom with a thick series of vertical ribs split around the lower shoulder by a thin, smooth line. The thick handle, which rises from the lower end of the neck and surmounts the back of the rim, has a finial in the form of a head of Silenus, with a dramatic coiffure and thick beard. Silenus, the tutor/follower of Dionysus, is depicted as an older man with a large, full beard. Themes of Dionysus and his followers were particularly popular during the Hellenistic time period. Some rulers even identified themselves with the god; for example, Ptolemy XII in Egypt pronounced himself the "New Dionysus". The cult of Bacchus was also hugely popular, and symbols of the god and Silenus signified the freedom created by wine, music, and ecstatic dance. Size: 7.45" W x 15.75" H (18.9 cm x 40 cm)
Provenance: private Connecticut, USA collection; ex-Gawain McKinley 'Legacy' 1999; ex-private French collection, 1966-2010; ex-private Belgian collection, acquired 1966;

#146724Repaired and restored from what looks like two halves, with the repair line around the upper shoulder. This has been expertly done and is almost impossible to discern. Silenus face and top of handle have also been repaired, again, in a very professional and difficult to see manner. Otherwise the piece is in beautiful condition.Condition
