BID HISTORY

DESCRIPTION

Oinochoe of phallic type; Apulia, Magna Grecia, 4th century BC.
Ceramics of red figures.
Attached thermoluminescence.
Presents restoration and repainting on fracture line in the neck and lower third.
Measurements: 31 x 16,5 cm.
Oinochoe of falisco type in which the figure of a hoplite with helmet, shield and spear is represented. The oinochoe is a typology of Greek pottery used to remove the wine from the crater, where it has been watered, before serving it. It is characterized by having a single handle, and is classified according to the shape of the mouth and belly. Red-figure pottery was one of the most important figurative styles of Greek pottery. It was developed in Athens around 530 B.C., and was used until the 3rd century B.C. It replaced the previous predominant style of black-figured pottery within a few decades. The technical basis was the same in both cases, but in the red figures the coloring is inverted, the figures being highlighted on a dark background, as if they were illuminated by a theatrical light, following a more natural scheme.

COMMENTS

Attached thermoluminescence. It presents restoration and repainting on the fracture line in the neck and in the lower third.
