Item Details

Description

Greece, Athens, ca. early 5th century BCE. A gorgeous and incredibly preserved lekythos attributed to the Haimon Group, a slender oil vessel with a disc foot, thin neck, and flared lip. This is an extremely rare depiction with a mythological scene, the scene is from the twelve labors of Herakles. John Boardman, in Athenian Black Figure Vases, describes vases with Herakles the Peloponnesian Hero as popular subject matter for Athenian vases. He was closely associated with Athena, the city Goddess. Here on this vessel we have Herakles wrestling the Cretan Bull and the moment Herakles brings the bull to its knees. His bow and quiver hang suspended in the field alongside tendrils and sashes at either end of the scene. The shoulder is decorated with a band of rays and the lower body and foot have black reserve bands. Size: 2.55" W x 7" H (6.5 cm x 17.8 cm)

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, like see on this piece.

Provenance: private collection of N. Koutoulakis, Geneva, Switzerland, acquired in 1988
