- ANATOLIAN PHOENICIAN JANIFORM FIGURAL
ANATOLIAN PHOENICIAN JANIFORM FIGURAL JAR VEILED WOMANAncient Eastern Mediterranean / Western Anatolia, Phoenicia, ca. 6th to 2nd century BCE. A fascinating pottery figural jar presenting the relief image of a veiled woman on both sides. Robes flowing down her body in cascading folds of fabric, the ancient lady presents an idealized visage of large, almond-shaped eyes, a round nose, and bowed lips. She grasps the hem of her mantle with her right hand, perhaps to indicate modesty, while her left rests on her womb signifying her connection with fertility. Sizable earrings and a diadem peak out from beneath her mantle, suggesting she is of higher social status. This vessel perhaps represents a lady in mourning or a deity and could have served as an urn or votive for the deceased, a flask to strap to one's side, or a finial for domestic decoration. Size: 3.3" W x 4.9" H (8.4 cm x 12.4 cm); 6.1" H (15.5 cm) on included custom stand.

Illustrated in Rolf Winkes, Love for Antiquity, Selections from the Joukowsky Collection , Brown University, 1985, p.43, cat. #35.
Note from the catalog: "Due to the superb versatility and maneuverability of molten glass, the manufacture of polychrome glass head beads, used as pendants, was part of the industry of the eastern littoral of the Mediterranean and Egypt. With the revival of 9th century glass centers, these so-called Phoenician face beads were manufactured and became popular. They were in vogue from ca. 600 B.C. to the end of the 3rd century B.C. when their manufacture ceased. The techniques used are similar to those of core-made vessels, with applied contrasting colored features either left in relief and/or marvered (pressed into the face)." The above offered lot bears mask-like male portraits of beaded Levantines with a suspension ring at the top for hanging. MSJ.

- MASSIVE GRECO-PHOENICIAN STONE
MASSIVE GRECO-PHOENICIAN STONE VESSELAncient Eastern Mediterranean, Greco-Phoenician, ca. 6th to 5th century BCE. A huge white limestone vessel, created in two sections, with a graceful form. The body is piriform, with a broad shoulder where the two halves join on thick, wide rims. The body tapers to a wide, flaring foot with incised lines around it to give it an interesting texture. The neck flares outward in a similar form, creating symmetry in the form of the vessel. Two crescent moons are in relief on the upper shoulder. The handle has a delicate, abstract floral motif on its lower terminal and a similar motif on its upper one. The form of the handle is graceful, with a gentle interior curve and sharper one on the exterior. This massive vessel was likely used in a temple. Size: 15.75" W x 31.75" H (40 cm x 80.6 cm)

- GREEK APULIAN POLYCHROME SKYPHOS
GREEK APULIAN POLYCHROME SKYPHOS W/ LADY OF FASHIONGreece, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A wheel-thrown pottery skyphos with a tiered, pedestal foot, a gradually expanding body, a gently flared lip, and a pair of applied parabolic handles. Each side of the vessel exhibits a red-figure depiction of a 'lady of fashion,' each left-facing head with elegant eyes, a slender nose, a kekryphalos hairstyle, and curly bangs accentuated with fugitive white pigment, all beneath a register of petite cresting waves and separated with a pair of stylized palmettes. Layers of lustrous black glaze envelop the entire vessel and faint traces of silvery iridescence nicely complement the dark composition. Size: 6" in diameter x 2.8" H (15.2 cm x 7.1 cm)
Perhaps the most exciting innovation in Greek vase painting was the red-figure technique, invented in Athens around 525 BCE and beloved by other artists of Magna Graecia. The red-figure technique allowed for much greater flexibility as opposed to the black-figure technique, for now the artist could use a soft, pliable brush rather than a rigid metal graver to delineate interior details, play with the thickness of the lines, as well as build up or dilute glazes to create chromatic effects. The painter would create figures by outlining them in the natural red of the vase, and then enrich these figural forms with black lines to suggest volume, at times perspectival depth, and movement, bringing those silhouettes and their environs to life. Beyond this, fugitive pigments made it possible for the artist to create additional layers of interest and detail as we see in this example.
