Artemis Gallery
Etruscan Bucchero Amphora w/ Animals
Product Description
Northern Italy, Etruscan, late 7th century BCE. An outstanding Etruscan bucchero amphora with an extensive and very refined graffiti decorative program. It features six feather-like motifs around the upper section of the neck, six open fan motifs at the lower end of the neck, just above the shoulder; four bands that each contain three upright feather-like motifs separated and bordered by incised double lines on the handles; a register of incised vertical frets surrounded by bas relief borders with incised diagonal marks; a wide register displaying a parade of four animals including two antlered bucks alternating with two wild felines as well as a centaur.
The overall shape of the vessel suggests a funerary context. Similar examples were found at Cerveteri. This particular vessel is among the finest Etruscan Bucchero amphoras we have had the honor of handling.
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
