About the Item
Striking and sculptural, this pair of monumental amphoras is a modern homage to the Panathenaic prize vessels of ancient Athens. Each amphora features iconic black-figure-inspired motifs—one depicting athletic nude male figures in motion, the other a stylized centaur—rendered in a high-contrast black and white palette that elevates the classical form to a bold, contemporary statement. The amphoras are mounted on sleek black laminate plinths, which provide a museum-like presentation and enhance their architectural presence.
While these are not ancient artifacts, they draw directly from the aesthetic vocabulary of 5th-century BCE Greek pottery, making them ideal for collectors of neoclassical revival, postmodern ceramics, or dramatic decorative arts. Perfect for flanking an entry, anchoring a gallery wall, or commanding attention in a high-design interior.
Each amphora is approximately 32",and the bases are 45" tall. The amphoras unscrew from the bases making the shipping convenient.
