Description

A Greek black-figure lebes gamikos
Crete, circa 3rd Century B.C.
The hands set vertically at either side of the shoulder, with waisted neck and out-turned thickened rim, the ochre-tinged pottery body with black glazed bands around the rim, shoulder, base and the top of each handle; Side A decorated with a leaping griffin, enlivened in white, four Greek letters above the band ΓΡΥΨ translating, 'griffin'; Side B with a woman's head depicted wearing a stephane, a ribbon above and below, 28.7cm high
Footnotes:
Provenance:
O.G. Collection, Bavaria, Germany, formed in the 1960s-1970s.
Gerhard Hirsch Nachfolger, Munich, Auktion 283, 25 & 26 September 2012, lot 673.
American private collection acquired from the above.

Accompanied by an Oxford Authentication Thermoluminescence Report, no.N122e6.

The depiction of the griffin is very similar stylistically to pegasoi depicted on Hadra hydriae, which we now know from material analysis, were made in Crete for the Alexandrian market in the 3rd Century B.C. This example is a very late use of the black-figure technique. The natural red clay surface is coated with miltos, a wash of yellow ochre, more commonly used to heighten and enhance the colour of the reserved red clay of Attic black-figure and red-figure vases.
