Title: | Red Figure Oinochoe Fragment with Gilded Decoration | |
Category: | Pottery | |
Description: | Neck and shoulder fragment from an oinochoe type III; non-joining fragment from lower edge of panel. Around the neck, a band of encircled palmettes; springing from both sides of this band, long narrow leaves alternating with large berries on thin stems. At left, the top of the head of a female figure, right. Below, a partly draped bearded male figure, right; in his left hand a lotus-topped staff or scepter. only the upper part of the figure preserved; the right arm missing. Drapery falls over the left shoulder; a laurel wreath around the head. To the right of the fragment, at the center of the figured decorations, a large bird flies right; part of one wing missing (an eagle?). On the non-joining fragment, above a maeander and checkerboard border, the forelegs of two horses, galloping right. Relief contours throughout, but very poorly preserved; clear only on parts of the palmette band; elsewhere the glaze has flaked away, leaving a pale outline, beneath. Added clay for the berries of the neck decoration, and for a berry on the wreath. The eagle's plumage is entirely rendered in fine lines of added clay, over which has been laid gold leaf. Of the gold leaf a portion remains on the bird's wing; elsewhere the relief shows the pinkish color of sizing. Glazed inside shiny black to the bottom of the neck; at the shoulder, unglazed, below, thin wash. The glaze outside is severely mottled in firing. | |
