- Lot Description
Ancient Europe, Northern Italy, Villanovan culture, ca. 750 to 700 BCE. A wonderful wheel-thrown and highly burnished impasto ware amphora of a dark-brown hue. The sizable vessel presents with a wide foot beneath a squat stem and has a bulbous body, a sloped shoulder beneath a columnar neck, a flared rim, and a pair of applied strap handles arching between rim and shoulder. The midsection is decorated with eight slender, vertical ribs surrounded by pecked stippling, and each half of the body features a petite conical protrusion beneath a parabolic arch. Impasto ware is a coarse, unrefined type of brown clay used heavily by the Villanovans and was the precursor to the more-recognizable Etruscan bucchero pottery. Size: 8.375" W x 8.75" H (21.3 cm x 22.2 cm)
The Villanovans inhabited Italy during the early Iron Age, and much of what we know of them comes from excavations of cemeteries (the first at Villanova near Bologna in northern Italy) where they cremated the dead and buried them in pottery urns in a very distinctive, double-cone shape. In the 8th century, Greek colonists arrived in the region, and began to influence Villanovan ceramics and their forms, as with this amphora.
