Red-figure oinochoe, Oinochoe with a flat foot separated by a ring, an oval belly, and sloping shoulders; wide, tripartite rim; smooth ribbon-like handle. Reddish clay with black glossy slip. Decoration: on the front of the belly, in a metopic field framed at the top with a breaking-wave ornament and at the bottom with a row of dots and lines — a woman's head in left profile wearing a cap sakkos with curly hair above the ears and a long bun of curls at the back tied with a taenia; the cap bears a diadem. Two half-palmettes flank the head both pointing same direction; on the right a spirally coiled tendril; two rosettes in the upper corners. Rosettes, necklace, taenia, earrings, and elements of the diadem painted in white. Good condition. End of the 4th century BC, Southern Italy. Oinochoe vessel, red-figure pottery, Greek., A dark ceramic jug with a curved handle and a flared, scalloped rim sits against a neutral gray background, the jug showing glossy black surfaces with areas of worn brownish-beige where the finish has chipped or been decorated, including a decorative panel on one side featuring swirling shapes and floral-like motifs in beige on a black field, and a narrow beige band near the base; small scratches and scuffs are visible on the body, and the jug casts a faint reflection on the surface beneath it.
