Height: 7 1/2 in / 19.1 cm; Diameter: 8 1/4 in / 21 cm
Provenance: Palmyra Heritage, New York, NY; Fortuna Fine Art, New York, NY
A Corinthian decorated amphora dating to circa 500 BC, painted with multiple animal figures around the body. The vessel reflects the long Greek ceramic tradition in which animal friezes, patterned ornament, and compact vessel forms were used to create lively surface decoration.
Its rounded form, twin handles, and painted figural decoration give the piece strong visual presence despite its modest scale. The amphora would sit well within a collection of Greek antiquities, ancient ceramics, or classical decorative vessels.
