Lot 714
Pan-Athenaic Amphora in Red-Figure Technique. Magna Graecia, Apulia, c. 340-310 BC. Vessel of fairly narrow shape, on raised flaring foot, with twin handles, and broad funnel mouth. Vessel of pinkish-tan clay, with red wash and black glaze. One side shows woman of fashion standing right, before Eros, who is seated left on rocks and holding out a decorated box; the reverse with two cloaked youths facing each other: with large palmettes flanking on either side. Other details are picked out in white and yellow-ochre. Vessel in excellent condition, and free of repairs. The amphora's firing was somewhat uneven, thus some of the black glaze has gone to red. Height: 18-5/8". Attractive -- a sizable and flashy artifact.
Estimated Value $2,900 - 3,600.
