Item Details

Description

An Attic red-figure lekythos
Attributed to the Nikon Painter, circa 470-450 B.C.
Depicting a woman wearing a peplos, her hair bound in a chignon, holding a box in her left hand, looking back over her right shoulder, her right arm held out towards the klismos behind, the field above with two faintly visible lines of Greek letters in red appearing to be: ΑΗΔΣΛΛ ΗΑΣΛΛ, a band of meander above and below the scene, the ghost image of a section of meander visible on the black glaze, the shoulder with scrolling palmette and lotus decoration, a band of ovolo at the base of the neck, details in added black, 27.5cm high
Footnotes:
Provenance:
Swiss private collection, acquired from Galerie Archéologie Borowski, Paris in 1981.

Known for producing mostly small amphorae and lekythoi. The painter's real name is unknown, but has been called the Nikon painter as he signed some of his vases using this name and 'kalos'. The ghost image of a section of the meander pattern would have occurred during the drying process after firing when it was touching another vase, in this case with identically formed meander.
