Title: | Red Figure Oinochoe Fragment | |
Category: | Pottery | |
Description: | Handle and part of neck and shoulder preserved. From a pot slightly smaller in size than the others of this series. The neat moulded ridge around the base of the neck is black. Tongue pattern on shoulder. Around the neck a wreath of slender ribbed leaves and berries; cf. P 15848 (ΟΑ 1069). Here the leaves seem not be have been filled with white. Figured scene: the upper left corner remains: the head of Athena, helmeted, right, with a trace of her shoulder and drapery and the upper line of her extended arm. In front of her, the ears of a horse. Technique: no relief contours. Note that the helmet appears to have been an afterthought. The figure's head, with curly brown hair bound by a reserved fillet, and with curls falling to the shoulders at the back, was first entirely finished. Later the helmet, a curious sort of close-fitting casque with a thin crest falling from a high projection at the crown was painted over in clay-colored paint. A heavy line of this paint outlines the casque and is used for a reverse spiral which ornaments it toward the back. The original outline of the head and hair can be seen clearly under the remains of the overpainting. For the shape cf. P 15840 and P 15841. | |
