Ancient Greek Apulian red-figured lidded olpe, 20 x 14 cm - Spanish Export Licence - Lidded mug

With a crouching winged figure holding a kind of patera in the right hand and a mirror in the left; a wavy band around the bottom, laurel on the neck and a large palmette under the handle; the knob-shaped lid has a female head in profile on the left.

It also has a smooth rim, as opposed to the trilobed rim of the oinochoe, and a high handle that often rises characteristically above the rim of the oinchoe. Provenance: French private collection C. R. / Galería Félix Cervera, Barcelona, September 2023 *Damaged handle and chipped rim Statement seen by Catawiki. The seller will take care that any necessary permits will be arranged.
