Description
South Italic, Peucetian, ca. 650 to 500 BCE. A very fine and large bichrome pottery krater from Peucetia (with Bari and Ruvo as its centers) of a grand scale and an elegant form with twin angular applied handles, a flared rim, and a gracefully sloped concave foot. The surface is covered with extensive stylized geometric decorations in black on a cream-colored slip laid over the buff clay -- from the interior rim all the way to the foot and including the exterior handles. These geometric motifs are arranged in paneled bands and registers and present a mesmerizing variety of designs as well as legible W's that is remarkably harmonious. Size: 10.5" W x 10.625" H (26.7 cm x 27 cm)
