Description

Greek Pottery Oinochoe with Chevron Design, circa 450 BC. Featuring a tall trefoil spout and a high-arching handle. The body is adorned with a frieze of incised and painted chevron patterns in black and umber pigments, showing influence from both Greek and Etruscan ceramic traditions. The surface exhibits characteristic aging, with mineral deposits and light wear consistent with ancient burial. A classic example of the Orientalizing period, blending eastern motifs with early Italic form. Height 10cm.
