Item Details

Description

Ca. 400 BC A red figure ware Apulian Krater with pedestal foot, cylindrical stem, inverted bell-shaped body and two lug handles protruding from the sides. The painted scenes show (side A): a seated female, holding a fan and a wreath; (side B): a standing, winged figure of goddess Nike sacrificing over an altar, holding a patera and a branch. The scenes are framed by an upper and lower geometric border and flanked by vegetal motifs. Kraters such as this would have been used for mixing wine at drinking parties.This piece has been precisely dated having undergone Thermo Luminescence analysis by Ralf Kotalla, an independent German Laboratory. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. Its TL certificate with full report will also accompany this lot.Size: L:240mm / W:245mm ; 1.25kgProvenance: From the private collection of a Kent gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1990s on the UK /European art markets.
