Object Description
A fine Magna Graecian terracotta kantharos featuring a deep cup with a cylindrical foot leading to a slightly concave base. Two large, curving handles are attached from the rim to the lower body. The kantharos has been enriched with a black glaze across the interior, the handles and the foot. The Apulian red figure technique displays a female’s head facing left on both sides. She is adorned with a delicate necklace and an embroidered cap covering her hair painted in white and orange tones. Two white columns frame the piece on either side of the face. Earthly encrustation covers the surface.
