- Lot Description
Roman, early Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. A tall, cast-bronze oinochoe (pouring vessel) with a concentric ring base, a bulbous body, and a rounded shoulder which gracefully tapers to a short, cylindrical neck. The neck broadens into a wide, pinched trefoil spout with a large, lip-like rim that hangs down in a manner that looks almost organic. A delicate, leaf-patterned handle rises from the lower body to the mouth. A mask-like face of a youth wearing a zoomorphic headdress forms an attachment at the base of the handle. The texture of the handle forms a strong contrast to the smooth body of the rest of the vessel. The deep turquoise color of this piece's patina gives it an incredible archaeological surface. Size: 4.5" W x 8.2" H (11.4 cm x 20.8 cm).
A stylistically similar example, of a larger form and without a trefoil spout, hammered for $18,000 at Christie's, New York "Antiquities" auction (sale 1846, June 8, 2007, lot 154).
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Artemis Gallery; ex-private Orange County, California, USA collection, acquired before 2000
