- Lot Description
Greece, Corinth, ca. 6th century BCE. A tall, slender polychrome alabastron - used for holding perfumes and scented oils - with a characteristic round bottomed, piriform body that rises to a flat rim with an applied handle joining rim to neck, decorated on the side with incised and painted motifs: a woman-faced, eagle-winged harpy who faces a proud bull with prominent horns and an athletic body, complete with long, curved tail; between the two figures is a tall altar with a wide basin and dramatically rising flames. Further painted ornamentation - floral and geometric - flanks the top and bottom of the body as well as decorating the handle and flat rim. During this time, Corinthian plates showed the influence of eastern trade connections with the city - featuring art with stylized plants and animal friezes, inspired by trade with the Levant, Egypt, and Assyria. The style of incising details, beautifully exemplified here, may have inspired the incised silhouettes of the black-figure period. Size: 2" W x 4" H (5.1 cm x 10.2 cm)
Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection, acquired before 2000
