Description |
Pyriform body with band of incised and molded decoration on the belly, over disc foot, tapering neck molded with a female mask, the lid flattened at top with a bird finial perched on a spool. The ewer has an ovoid body on a small, circular foot, with a thick neck and a separate cover for the spout. The ewer is decorated with faces, and raised bands. The cover is decorated with a small figure of a bird. The ewer was originally part of the collection of Venice High School. According to an inventory conducted in 1988, the ewer is a "two-stoppered Etruscan itcher made of buchero (black clay) circa 400-500 B.C. It has the face of a person on the front and a single handle on the back of the neck. The circle on the mouth has been pinched to make three 2/3 circles. The top stopper is the gifure of a bird (chicken?)." The piece is #3 on the inventory list. Description Modified: 7/28/2010 |
