Greek Apulian Lekanis w/ Lady of Fashion

Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, South Italy, Apulia, ca. 350 to 325 BCE. A splendid pottery lidded vessel known as a lekanis that is covered in black glaze and decorated with gorgeous red-figure and fugitive white pigment details. The base presents a flared foot beneath a hemispherical body with a pair of parabolic handles protruding from the side walls. The wide, bell-shaped lid bears a register of cresting waves along the exterior rim and concentric circles atop the discoid handle. Two distinguished 'lady of fashion' characters adorn the top of the lid, both shown in profile and wearing delicate stephane brought forth in fugitive white pigment and kekryphalos hairstyles bound in the back. The ground surrounding each woman is filled with abstract foliate forms and flowers, while a grand pair of palmettes lies between them. Size: 9.7" W x 5.9" H (24.6 cm x 15 cm)

Lidded lekanides were cosmetic containers, often given by fathers to brides on their wedding day. The Lady of Fashion motif complements this; it is often thought to depict a young woman on her wedding day.

Cf. Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2021.40.31a, b.
