Description:

Classical World, Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Campania, Gnathian Teano Ware, ca. 340 to 320 BCE. This is a small vessel with a ribbed design and a glossy black finish accented by a design of red and white banded lines and yellow hatches around a central round motif at the neck. This is an olpe, with a handle made of two curved cylinders of clay. It has a broad rim and a thin neck with a tapered body and a slight, pronounced foot.
