Greek Terracotta Amphora Handle Fragment with Stamp by Manufacturer Satyros for the Magistrate Thrasonos
Circa 3rd-2nd century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £72
With rectangular stamp possibly bearing the names 'ΣΑΤΥΡΟ (SATYROS) Θ[ράσωνος] (Thrasonos)', and short handled trident to left. 130 grams, 80 mm
Acquired 1960s-1990s. From the late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister.
The legend of the stamp usually comprises three elements, in full or abbreviated form: a) the name of a magistrate whose purpose was to date the amphora. In our case possibly Θράσωνος b) the name of the “fabricant” (manufacturer), who played a part in the production of the amphora (here SATYROS), c) ethnic element indicating the production’s place (maybe, here, associated with the the Θ of Θράσωνος, Knidos). -

Cypriot Limestone Head of a Deer
Iron Age, circa late 6th-early 5th century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £1,430
Carved in the round with stub antlers to the brow; mounted on a custom-made display stand. 982 grams total, 19.7 cm including stand
Acquired before 1947. Ex Wood family collection, UK; thence by descent 1970.
The deer head probably came from a larger votive terracotta sculpture, which depicted a standing doe, perhaps being led to be sacrificed. The presence of the deer could connect the original terracotta to a sanctuary of Diana, whose sacred animal was the deer.
