Ancient Greece, Athens (Attic), ca. 5th century BCE. A wheel-thrown skyphos of miniature form with squat walls forming the deep basin and a pair of parabolic handles arching off the sides, all atop a squat circular foot.

Size: 4" W x 1.3" H (10.2 cm x 3.3 cm)

Provenance: ex-Nancy and Dr. E.F. Simpson collection, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired from 1970 to 2000.

Condition
Chipping and abrasions to pigment, with light encrustations, and minor nicks to handles, rim, and foot, otherwise intact and very good. Great remains of pigment and owl motif.
