About the Item

Amphora with a distinctive concave neck, flattened shoulder, ovoid body tapering down, echinus foot and three-ribbed ribbon handles attached vertically between the neck and the shoulder. Painted in the black-figure style with white and purple highlights, the neck is decorated with palmettes and lotus flowers, the shoulder with a circle of rays. Beneath the handles are four interwoven tendrils, each of which ends in a palm. Below the central section, which displays figurative scenes, is a Meander motif which is in turn above a climbing lotus flower bud motif. A band of rays decorate the foot. Decoration of the body: Side A) on the left is a warrior armed with a helmet, spear and Boeotian shield depicted throwing himself towards a second warrior on the right, who is also armed with a helmet, spear and circular shield; between the fighters is a kneeling warrior, his head turned to the left, holding a spear and a shield. The scene depicted could be the episode in the Iliad in which Achilles defends Antilochus against Memnon, Side B) thiasus: a bearded Dionysus is depicted at the centre with his head turned to the left, wearing a crown of ivy and a long himation. He extends a kantharos towards a female figure in a mantel standing opposite him; probably Ariadne. Behind the god is a satyr playing a diaulos and a Maenad; the background is filled with vines and bunches of grapes. Museum restoration; Attic black-figure pottery of the end of the 6th century is distinguished by ceramists that favour representations of Homeric hymns and Dionysian scenes painted on medium-sized and large vases (Amphora, hydria, krater). Measures: Height cm 49 (19’’) Provenance: Private collection, London; acquired on the European art market in the 1980s; accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate.
