- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. late 1st century BCE to early 1st century CE. An elegant terra sigillata amphora presenting a bulbous body and sloped shoulder that dramatically narrows to a cylindrical neck and flared spout, all sitting upon a ring-form foot. Boasting a vibrant hue of sienna, the ancient vessel has been features a minimalist decorative program with a pair of horizontal striations flanked above and below by a band of vertical dashes around the shoulder and a tiered design adorning the rim. Twin tubular handles rise gracefully from the top of the shoulder, each creating a lovely high arch and ending just below the flared spout. The underside of the base is additionally embellished by a lovely target motif. Size: 7.4" Diameter x 12.5" H (18.8 cm x 31.8 cm)
Terra sigillata is a fine type of Roman ceramic coveted for its smooth red slipped finish and intriguing relief decoration. The name "terra sigillata" refers to the method used to seal the red slip onto the pottery during the firing process. The vessel was mold made and would have been traded throughout the Roman Empire. The technique used to finish the slip on pieces like this one led to its name, terra sigillate, literally meaning "sealed earth" - how poetic!
