About the Item

Finely potted, this lovely skyphos stands on a small disc foot, with the bulbous body swelling upwards. Central figures on either side are framed by a band of dotted ovolo above and palmette complexes to either side beneath the handles. On one side, looking to the left, Dionysos stands in profile, nude but for a himation slung over his right arm, while holding a thyrsos. On the other side a draped maenad runs to the left, holding a wreath and a tambourine with a quartered ball in the field. Notes This vessel was likely used as part of the Greek symposium. Much like modern academic symposiums, in which people discuss a topic of common interest, debunking old theories and putting forth new hypotheses; the men of ancient Athens regularly got together in private homes to exchange ideas. Afterward the participants might continue the conversation, discussing their impressions in greater detail or simply socializing over a drink. As the evening progressed, participants engaged in other pleasures, including games, performances, and sex. Wine played a major role in fueling these evenings, and a myriad of vessels were used for preparing wine while smaller vessels like this one were used to serve and drink it. Provenance H.A.C., Kunst der Antike, Basel, 1996. Annita Patrikiadou, Athens, 1996. Antiquities Christie's New York, December 11th, 2014. Private Collection, Los Angeles California.
