Description: | This bucchero vessel is a pastiche, it is the result of handle of a kyathos (dipper), produced in inland Etruria, added to an open vessel with ring foot made in Southern Etruria. The thick layer of plaster, coloured in black and used to attach the handle to the rim of the vessel, makes it impossible to determine with certainty whether the vessel originally had a handle. With handle it could be identified as a kyathos, without is a chalice. It has carinated body, impressed decoration on the upper body of open fan ornaments, below incised with grooves and on lower body decoration of impressed semi-open fans.The looped handle has a crest on the exterior and a figure depicted in relief on the interior; this is the so-called potnia theron (animal mistress) represented frontally with long tresses falling on her chest while holding the front legs of two felines. | Subjects: | Europe Italy Southern Europe | Source: | Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.foreignarchaeology.80395 | Go to resource |
