Magna Graecia, Italy, Apulia / Daunian, ca. 4th century BCE. A delightful, wheel-thrown pottery lekanis presenting a ring-form foot then slanted walls that spread outwards and then rise upwards to a flared rim, all flanked by a pair of curving handles. Lovely remains of black pigment adorn the ancient vessel in the form of 2 concentric circles at the bottom of the basin and a horizontal, zigzag striation that encompasses the exterior. Lekanides were cosmetic containers that were often gifted to brides by their fathers on their wedding day. Size: 6.5" Diameter x 1.9" H (16.5 cm x 4.8 cm)

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
