Greek Apulian Pyxis with Aphrodite and Eros

Item Details

Description

4th-early 3rd century BC. A ceramic pyxis with convex flange and separate lid; the cover with central high relief bust of Aphrodite (Venus), the goddess of love, surrounded by ivy leaves in applied white and radiating strokes on the flange; goddess with a stephane (bridal crown) and a veil falling over the left shoulder; small Eros appearing from behind her shoulder; the spool-form bottom with a wide flange tapering to a small foot. 499 grams total, 16cm (6 1/4"). Property of a Swiss collector; acquired Hirsch Auktionen, Munich, Germany, September 2012 lot 691; previously in an old private German collection, Munich; acquired in the mid 1980s. Pyxides belonged to the domestic realm of women and were designed to hold precious cosmetics and/or items such as jewellery. The reference to Aphrodite and Eros symbolising eternal love may have also fitted the vessel as a votive grave offering to be used in the afterlife as well. Aphrodite (Venus) is identified by her bare right bosom.
