Lot 947
Greek Pottery Lot. Mostly Magna Graecia, 5th-4th century BC. Earliest a small lekythos, Attic, with a row of Acanthus palmettes. Second, a squat lekythos, Apulian, with profile head of a female "foreigner" -- perhaps an amazon. Last and most interesting, a fragment from a Calene vase of some size, with molded relief decoration. This a nude hero carrying a beam(?) (or wielding a club). Heights: 2-5/8" - 4-5/8". Attic piece repaired; Apulian some paint chips, but painted by a delicate and deft hand, and so attractive. Calene piece rare. Lot of 3 items.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
"Old Grand Tour Collection," c. pre-1930. The vessels with old, yellowed stickers with inked collection number, plus inked numbers or letters on the bases.
