Corinthian Black-figure Vase
In the style of 600-575 BC
This squat lekythos is notable for its flat bottom and neck adorned with two ridges, leading to an opening with a trefoil spout. An arched handle elegantly bridges the neck and body, creating a graceful silhouette. The vase is decorated in the characteristic black-figure style. The body is adorned with animal friezes featuring a boar, harpy, deer, and bird, encircling the vessel. Below the neck, a decorative pattern of rays adds a dynamic visual element.
Corinthian pottery is renowned for its distinctive style and significant influence on the development of Greek ceramics. Originating in Corinth during the 7th century BC, this pottery is characterized by its fine clay, light tan or yellowish hue, and intricate, detailed decoration that often features elaborate motifs of animals, floral patterns, and mythological creatures. The most notable feature of Corinthian pottery is its use of the "black-figure" technique, where figures and designs were painted in a black slip on the natural clay surface, then incised to reveal details, and fired to create a strong contrast.
