(0 Bids)
Classical World, Etruria., ca. 600 - 567 BCE. A remarkable Bucchero ware cinerary urn of a sizable form featuring a convex lid atop a lipped rim, a stepped shoulder, and a narrowing base, all supported by a ring-form foot. A pair of horizontal, loop handles flank the wide shoulder, each adorned with an extended wing-like decoration in low relief. The lid is crowned by a flared handle and incised with concentric rings. Bucchero is a specifically Etruscan style for firing pottery which results in a smooth, shiny black finish. This kyathos was likely made only to be buried with offerings, as much fine Etruscan pottery was. Size: 14.8" W x 15.8" H (37.6 cm x 40.1 cm)
