Description
Magna Graecia, southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A near-miniature olpe decorated in the Xenon style with added matt pinkish-red stylized decoration comprised of a central register of repeated sinuous/wavy motifs framed by double striations above and below, with frets above (adorning the shoulder) and below, all in that characteristic pinkish hue over the glossy black glaze that has attained a stunning silvery iridescence. Size: 3.875" W x 3.5" H (9.8 cm x 8.9 cm)
