              Greco-Roman period, circa 305BC - 30BC

              Faience

              Height: 8.5cm

             

              Note: 

              The Deity Taweret, in the form of a female

              hippopotamus, was associated with the protection of

              women in childbirth.  She was portrayed with the arms

              and legs of a lion, and the back and tail of a crocodile,

              while her pendulous breasts and full belly conveyed the

              idea of pregnancy.

              God Seth, Horus is said to have lost his left eye.

              Fortunately, The Goddess Hathor was able to restore

              Note:

              Bes was a Dwarf God with grotesque facial features

              a protector of the family.

              Note:

              From the earliest times, Egyptians included cosmetic

              items among their funerary equipment.  Eye-paint,

              known as kohl, was regarded as a necessity, having

              cosmetic, religious and symbolic resonances.  Stone

              palettes were used for grinding eye-paint pigments,

              whilst small flat-bottomed stone vessels were used

              for storing kohl.

*287.     An Apulian (Italy) Red-Figure Pseudo-Panathenaic

              Amphora

              Depiction of the head of a woman and a winged female

              figure (Nike). Attributed to the Foggia group of painters.

              Circa 400BC - 300BC

              Painted earthenware

              Height: 57cm;  diameter: 26cm

              $700 - 1,000

             

              Reference:

              A.D. Trendall, “Red-Figure Vases of South Italy

              and Sicily ”, 1989

             

              Note:

              Apulia , a Greek city-state in Southern Italy , was a

              centre for the manufacture of pottery.  Initially

              dominated by the Athenian tradition, it soon developed

              a style of its own; red-figure ware.  Apulian vases of

              the ‘plain’ style were decorated with simple

              compositions, many with the head of a woman, flanked

              by palmettes.  However, by the end of the fourth

              century BC, it is clear that the Apulian red-figure style

              had worked itself out and its painters had exhausted

              their resources.  The death throes are to be seen in

              vases that lack any traces of originality.  Vases of the

              Foggia group display execrable drawing and pattern

              work.  They are clumsy, with emphasis on the frontal

              sinus, a wavy line for the mouth and a badly-drawn

              eye.

*288.     Apulia ( Italy ) Xenon-Ware Vases

              Circa 400BC - 300BC

              Glazed and painted earthenware

              Nine vases of various shapes and sizes

              $150 - 300 (9 items)

             

              Reference:

              M.E. Mayo “The Art of South Italy : Vases From

              Magna Graecia ”, 1982

             

              Note:

              Xenon-ware is another feature of Apulian pottery,

              being neither fully Greek nor fully native.  Such vases

              are decorated with applied colour over a black glaze.

              The glaze is usually shiny with a metallic tinge, whilst

              the colour is typically a matt pinkish red.  The

              decorative motifs are painted in a style quite different

              from that of the main Greek tradition.
