Item Details
Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 325 BCE. This is a beautiful kylix in a style referred to as "Xenon ware."

The black background has attained some iridescence from age. Decorated with repeating band of grape vines along inner rim, scrolls surrounding a lion raised upon its back paws, furry mane and fluffy tail. The exterior is elegantly embellished with repeating ivy leaves. Size: 9.25" W x 1.75" H (23.5 cm x 4.4 cm)

Provenance: private Corpus Christi, Texas, USA estate collection, acquired 1960s to 1970s
