Black-finned guttus, guttus with a high foot composed of a profiled lower part and a cylindrical, narrower upper part this part is not covered with the finis. The body is shaped like a flattened sphere with vertical grooves. A band-shaped handle is located on the right side of the vessel. Long neck with a wide, flared rim. On the upper surface is a convex medallion, surrounded by a single band, depicting the head of Heracles in a lion's skin. Round face, massive nose, wide mouth, large almond-shaped eyes. The skin and mane frame Heracles' face. The finis ranges from black to shiny brown. Condition: the handle and neck are cracked and glued; cracks and abrasions in the finial. 3rd century BC, Calvi, vessel, guttus, height 10.7 cm, diameter 11.5 cm, An ancient-looking ceramic vessel sits against a plain gray background; it has a rounded, ribbed body with a flattened base and a narrow raised foot, showing earthy terracotta and dark blackened surfaces with worn areas where the terracotta shows through. A tall, slightly flared spout rises from one side and is mostly black with scuffs and lighter worn patches, while a curved handle arches from the top into the body, sharing the same blackened, weathered finish. The top surface includes a raised decorative element with ridged details, also dark with areas of exposed terracotta, and the vessel’s surface shows a mix of smooth and textured ribbing with small chips and abrasions. The overall visible colors are black, dark brown, and terracotta orange, set against a mid-gray background and reflected faintly on the surface beneath.
