- Lot Description
Roman, purportedly found in Jordan, ca. late 1st century BCE to early 1st century CE. An outstanding terra sigillata relief fragment from the tondo of a large, shallow bowl, presenting a magnificent hunting scene. Consistent with the Hellenistic tradition, the imagery is both exciting and rendered with naturalism. We see an Amazon warrior riding a galloping horse turning to confront a ferocious lion that has attacked the flank of her steed. The drama is palpable, still conjuring goosebumps all these centuries after it was created. A magnificent piece that, akin to the impressive hunting friezes depicting Egyptian pharaohs and Persian kings, serves as a striking metaphor for courage and nobility. Size: 6.1" W x 6.25" H (15.5 cm x 15.9 cm); 6.8" H (17.3 cm) on included custom stand.
Terra sigillata is a fine type of Roman ceramic coveted for its smooth red slipped finish and intriguing relief decoration. According to the Walters Museum, "The vessel and decorations were formed in a mold and were sometimes embellished with stamps, roller-dies, appliques, barbotine, and incision. This type of pottery emerged around 40 BCE in Arretium (modern Arezzo) in central Italy and had an enormous influence across the Empire. In Gaul (modern France), cities like Lezoux, Montans, and the ancient site of La Graufesenque developed into prolific centers of terra sigillata wares."
