Greek Attic Black Figure Lekythos - Battle Scene

Item Details

Description

Athens, ca. 500 BCE. This is a slender cylindrical pottery lekythos (oil vessel) decorated in the black figure technique. It has a finely painted and incised mythological battle scene around its body, showing a hoplite with a helmet and shield fighting against an animal-headed being. It also has a radiating band patter on the shoulder. Ceramic production and painting took place in the northwest corner of Athens, in Kerameikos, where artisans created everyday household pottery as well as architectural decoration, roof tiles, and figurines. These were generally made on manually turned potter's wheels, and were either the product of one or two workers -- there was no mass production. Athenian kilns were fired by wood and the temperature controlled the ultimate color of the pottery. Battle scenes were a common theme, as were stories from mythology, as with this piece. Size: 2.5" W x 6.2" H (6.4 cm x 15.7 cm).

Provenance: Ex-German Private Collection.
