Description

Ancient Greece, Late Attic, ca. 370 to 350 BCE. A traditional black glazed pottery skyphos with an owl on one side depicted in red-figure above a red ground line with a palmette beside each looped handle.

Quite an impressive example with thin walls and very fine painting technique. Size: 6.75" W x 3.25" H (17.1 cm x 8.3 cm)
