Greek Attic White Ground Lekythos - Lady w/ Mirror

Item Details

Description

Ancient Greece, Athens, ca. 440 to 425 BCE. A white ground lekythos adorned with a hand-painted female figure standing in composite profile, only facing backward as she examines an object in her outstretched right hand and holds a mirror in her left hand. Framing the scene is an upper register of meander (Greek key) and lower horizontal bands in black and red. The shoulder is elegantly embellished with two bands of black striated frets. A lovely example! Size: 6.875" H (17.5 cm)

Lekythos vases were among the various offerings paying tribute to the deceased in Athenian cemeteries. Lekythos vessels traditionally held oil and were decorated in the white ground technique from the middle until the end of the fifth century BCE. The term white ground relates to the white slip on the body of the vase. Upon this background, motifs were drawn in outline and then hand painted in black or deep red.
