Description
Magna Graecia, South Italy, ca. 3rd century BCE. A ceramic volute krater of classic form: handles with molded Medusa mask termini on both sides, decorated overall in white slip. This was probably once embellished with pink, white, red, and blue details. It all stands on a raised disc foot. This remarkable vase is a superb example of the Hellenistic polychrome tradition associated with the Canosa. During the 4th century BCE, Canosa was actually a major center of red-figure vase creation; however, by the 3rd century, this tradition was replaced by vessels painted in lively pastel hues on a white ground. Size: 9.4" W x 18.9" H (23.9 cm x 48 cm)

The lower part of the vase and the neck have been repaired and restored, with overpainting on the restored areas. This was well done and is difficult to discern. Nice deposits on the surface.
