- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
Greece, Magna Graecia, South Italic, Campanian, possibly from Cumae given the light orange color of the clay body, ca. 350 to 320 BCE. A beautiful askos intended to be decorated via the red-figure technique only it was misfired - a happy accident if you ask me. This made for an attractive result with the areas that would have been black becoming a beautiful russet red instead. Gracing the walls of the vessel are a maenad dressed in billowing garments, a headdress, and a beaded necklace and sandals created with white fugitive paint. She stands in composite profile facing toward her right and holds a large spear in her right hand and a wreath in her left. In front of her is a satyr with characteristic goat-like features - horns, tail, furry legs, and cloven hooves - also looking to his right. Both figures are rendered in motion and with more depth and three-dimensionality than was possible when using the black-figure technique. Size: 4.375" in diameter x 8.25" H (11.1 cm x 21 cm)
In addition to the figural iconography described above, this vessel presents marvelous decorative motifs in the field. Above and below the scene are sinuous wave bands; the neck is adorned by a band of vertical frets; beneath the handle is an oversized stylized palmette with flowering tendrils to either side; below the satyr's front foot is a stylized florette, and a cask is just in front of it. All combines to create a masterful composition.
Provenance: ex-private T.S. collection, San Diego County, California, USA, acquired between 25 and 40 years ago
