This lot is accompanied by an illustrated lot declaration signed by the Head of the Antiquities Department, Dr Raffaele D’Amato.
Cf. for identical pattern of eight rights with contiguous bases, springing from the join of the foot, see fragments of an oinochoe from Sardis, in Schaeffer, J.S., Ramage, N.H., Greenwalt, C.H., The Corinthian, Attic, and Laconian Pottery from Sardis, Harvard, 1997, cat. 30, pl.8.
FootnotesCups of this typology, with glaze covering the body and even the foot occur in abundance at most sites where Corinthian imports are found. In Proto-Corinthian (soon after the middle of the seventh century) one finds both linear ornament and a neat, lively figure style, mostly with animals, which is inspired to some extent by eastern motifs such as lions and panthers.
