Black-finned hydria with fluting, unknown Apulian workshop. Hydria with fluting belly. Red clay. Black and shiny engobe firnis. The rim widens and turns outward, decorated with a painted ornament called an ovoid oxeye. The neck is long, cylindrical, decorated with a gilded garland painted at the base. The shoulders are clearly defined. The belly is oval, tapering towards the base, covered with fluting, impressed from the mold. The handles are cylindrical, attached vertically at shoulder height. Wide base. Preservation condition: cracked engobe in places, gilding worn away. 320–310 BC, Apulia, hydria vessel. Height 57 cm, width 24.7 cm., A tall ceramic vase with a narrow flared neck and a wide rounded body, featuring a pair of horizontal loop handles near the shoulder; the vase surface shows a ribbed texture on the body and a smoother neck and base with small areas of wear and speckling. The colors visible include deep black on most of the body and neck, earthy terracotta on the rim and base edges, and lighter worn spots where the black finish has chipped to reveal pale brown and beige beneath. The rim carries a decorative band of repeating teardrop-shaped motifs in contrasting terracotta and black, and a delicate chain-like painted band encircles the base of the neck in similar colors. The overall background is a neutral gray.
