Agora Object: P 2839

Inventory Number:		P 2839
Section Number:		Ζ 866
Title:		Red Figure Oinochoe
Category:		Pottery
Description:		Mended from many fragments which make up into two groups: the base and the lower part of the picture, and the neck and handle and the upper part. There is no direct join between the two groups and the middle of the vase, together with most of the lip, have been restored in plaster. Band of egg and dot above and below the scene. The picture shows three figures advancing right. At the center, a woman wearing a long chiton. Her head is thrown back and she holds in her two hands, slightly higher than her head, a large tympanum. In front of her is a low altar. She is preceeded by a nude male figure (head and shoulders missing). He carries a stick (torch ?) in his left hand, and his right is raised above and behind his head. Behind the woman is another man similar to the first. Only his feet, one leg and his torch, unlighted, are preserved. No contours; the inner drawing in black relief lines; no added color. Hasty and careless work, its effect increased by the fact that the surface of the pot was not smoothed before glazing so that wheel-run ridges run horizontally through the picture. Pink clay; black glaze, rather thin and much worn in places on the exterior and inside the mouth. Interior, thin black wash. The underside of the ring base, and the space inside it reserved and rubbed with pink as are also the figures in the decoration.
