Lot 945
Deep-Bowl Black Figure Skyphos. Greece, Athens, c. 510-490 BC. A large drinking cup with a remarkably deep bowl. Well potted and robust, with good black glaze and reserve bands of red wash. Ornament of four men on each side, standing at ease in conversation; acanthus palmettes flanking. Recomposed many years ago from large pieces; some calcareous deposits within. However, painted surfaces glossy and fine. With proper cleaning and restoration, this would make a very good display piece. Width: 10-3/4".
Estimated Value $750 - 950.
