GREEK CANOSAN POTTERY VOLUTE KRATER

Ca. 300 BC.
A Canosan volute krater crafted from terracotta, characterised by an egg-shaped body that tapers on a stem, ultimately resting upon a flared foot. The vessel features two handles positioned on the sides. These handles take the distinctive form of volutes. The other side of the krater reveals elaborate depictions of the "Lady of Fashion" on the main body. The female head is illustrated facing left, adorned with a radiate Stephane, a ribbon Sakkos, earrings, and a necklace. On the other side, the main decoration is geometrical motifs made with points. On the neck of the vase, there are two different geometric motifs. For similar see, Antiquities and Artifacts, Archeologie, Ancient Art. A CANOSAN POLYCHROME POTTERY VOLUTE-KRATER, 16.5" Tall.
