7TH CENTURY B.C.7 1/2 in. (422 grams, 19 cm wide)DESCRIPTION:An impasto kylix with carinated body and everted neck, two integral D-shaped handles with tapering, round-section bodies, and ashallow foot; decorated with geometric shapes composed of pricked dots around the shoulder and handles.Acquired 1980s-1990s.Collection of M. Cummings, Lincolnshire, UK.LITERATURE:Cf. for a similar kylix (in bucchero) Camporeale, G., La Tomba del Duce, Firenze, 1947, pl.91; cf. for the shape Villard, F., Vallet G.,'Megara Hyblaea' in Mélanges d'archéologie et d'histoire, tome 67, 1955. pp. 5-32.FOOTNOTES:Similar specimens, sometimes in fine bucchero, have been found in great quantities in the Southern Etruria and Cere. The shape is thatof the Ionic cups, type A according to the classification of Villard-Vallet, with an evident accentuation of the tense course of the cup'sprofile. Obviously the bucchero imitations would have been made in the Etruscan centres which imported the Greek models.
