- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic, Messapian, ca. 5th century BCE. An ample bi-chrome pottery vessel with an inverted piriform body, a tubular neck rising to a gently flared rim, and a single handle joining rim to shoulder, all upon a raised foot. The vessel body is beautifully decorated with a register of abstract leaves arranged in three bands on the shoulder and red striated bands of varying widths. Neck, rim, and foot are also embellished with red and black hues to complement the cream ground. This beautiful oinochoe was most likely coveted for both its design as well as its functionality. Size: 5.875" in diameter x 8.875" H (14.9 cm x 22.5 cm)
Beazley identified ten types of oinochoe - all of which are taller than they are wide and possess a single handle - the various types distinguished by variations on the profiles, mouth types, and handle forms. Although the Messapian people were influenced by Greek colonists in other parts of southern Italy, they had a distinctive culture that included burial practices unique unto their own. Unlike the Greeks in Apulia, Messapians reused their tombs for several burials, most likely from the same family. Whenever a tomb was reused, the earlier grave goods were removed, along with the body, and then reburied inside or outside the same tomb.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-collection Professor Dr. Gunther Marschall, Hamburg (1913-1997), acquired between 1967 and 1975
