Greek White-Ground Kotyle with Panther, Goat and Swan

CORINTHIAN, 6TH CENTURY B.C.

6 in. (102 grams, 15.1 cm).

Squat in profile with lateral loop handles, vertical stripes to the rim, frieze with a grazing goat, a panther to its rear and a perching swan.

Provenance

Ex private collection, Tokyo, Japan, since the 1980s.
Private European collection, acquired in 2010.

This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by a search certificate no.13227-249320.

Literature

Cf. Amyx, D.A., Corinthian Vase Painting of the Archaic Period, Berkeley, London, New York, 1988, pl.20 1a-1b, for a similar, but not identical skyphos from the Pechorara Painter.

Footnotes

In agreement with most scholars of the Corinthian pottery, Amyx and Payne used the term kotyle, rather than skyphos, to designate the distinctive group of deep cups with no offset lip, horizontal handles set near the rim, a convex tapering body and a narrow, echinoid foot.
