- Lot Description
Classical World, Etruria, ca. 350 to 300 BCE. A gorgeous glaux form of skyphos (interestingly, the Greek word for owl is "glaux") of a classic glaux form with one handle oriented horizontally and the other vertically - decorated in added red pigment with an abstract owl flanked by stylized laurel sprigs on each side, all underscored by a red horizontal line. The technique employed for the painted iconographic/decorative program was similar to Six's technique used by Attic black-figure painters. This involved using layers of red or white pigment on the surface and incising details, so that the black glaze shows through. A Dutch scholar by the name of Jan Six first described this technique in 1888, hence the term Six technique. A very special example, as Etruscan owl skyphoi are exceptionally rare, and a wonderful web of root marks imbues the piece with even more charm. Size: 5.875" W x 3.625" H (14.9 cm x 9.2 cm)
Cf. F.P. Johnson, "A Note on Owl-Skyphoi", American Journal of Archaeology, vol. 59, (1955), pp. 119-124., pl. 38, fig, 45.
