- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A fine mold-made ceramic guttus (also guttos) used to pour oil into oil-burning lamps. The vessel rests upon a concave ringed foot with a discoid body covered in dozens of fine vertical ribs, a thick loop handle, and an upturned pouring spout with an everted ring lip. The central tondo depicts a maenad striding right and holding a thyrsus (or thyrsos) - a pinecone tipped scepter. The majority of the guttus is covered in a lustrous black glaze and areas of faint silvery iridescence, though the underside of the foot still boasts its orange buffware coloration. Size: 6" in diameter x 5.8" H (15.2 cm x 14.7 cm)
In ancient Greece, maenads were female followers of Dionysus (Roman Bacchus), the Greek god of wine, fertility, and ecstasy, and made up an important part of god's retinue, known as the thiasus. Translating to "raving ones," the maenads were often portrayed in a state of euphoric frenzy through a combination of dancing and intoxication.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private T.G. collection, Williston, Florida, USA, acquired in 2000
