Item Details
Description
Greek, Athens, attributed to the F.B. Group, ca. early 4th century BCE. This pottery oinochoe (pouring vessel) has a trefoil lip and a sturdy cylindrical handle. The painted design has been attributed to the F.B. Group (Fat-Boy Group - Fat Boy as most of the figures are short and pudgy). The body is painted with red-figure designs showing warriors, including one that looks like an Amazon, the famed Scythian women warriors whose fighting prowess fascinated and repulsed Greek men in equal measure. Further busy spiral and plant designs decorate the body; the foot and interior are unpainted. An interesting example of a very late Attic design. Size: 4.4" W x 5.5" H (11.2 cm x 14 cm)
