Description
Italy, Faliscan, ca. 325 to 300 BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery oinochoe (wine or fluid pitcher) of refined form with a "beaked" spout, elegantly long neck, rounded shoulder, rotund body that gradually narrows to a circular base, and applied strap handle with two upturned volutes flanking the spout. The sienna hued exterior is decorated in an elaborate black design including: a long wavy black line dropping from the spout to the shoulder surrounded by two vertical curved lines, resembling plants, a ring of waves encompassing the shoulder, and several glazed rings at the bottom. The interior is covered in a black glaze that extends to the volutes and outer side of the handle. Made by the Falisci people who lived north of the Tiber River, this piece is a wonderful combination of Roman and Etruscan elements! Size: 2.75" Diameter x 5.625" H (7 cm x 14.3 cm)
