Lot 17D
Magna Graecia, southern Italy, Apulia, found near the town of Ignazia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A sweet pottery alabastron probably used for holding aromatic perfumed oils, painted extensively in fugitive white pigment over black ground with vertical frets highlighting the neck and a net-like cross-hatch motif on the body 'framed' by horizontal striations. This form originated in 11th century BCE Egypt, and was named an alabastron, because such containers were originally carved from alabaster. Size: 4.875" H (12.4 cm)
