Circa 7th century B.C.

A  two-handled skyphos (deep drinking bowl) of shallow, broad form, the slightly everted rim above a low carinated body set with a pair of opposed horizontal loop handles. The buff ground is decorated in lustrous reddish-brown paint with bands of horizontal lines below the rim and a frieze of rectilinear meander (key) and multiple-line panel motifs around the body; the disciplined linear ornament that defines the Greek Geometric style.

Dimensions:  2½ in. H × 6½ in. wide, handle to handle (6.4 cm H × 16.5 cm W)

Condition: Intact; surface wear, encrustation, and minor pigment loss consistent with age

Provenance: Estate of Dr. Edward Ochsenschlager (1932–2023), New York.  Dr. Edward L. Ochsenschlager (1932–2023), was a Professor Emeritus at Brooklyn College, City University of New York. In 1974 he became founding director of Brooklyn College's Archaeological Research Institute, chairing the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology until 1990. He was a member of the original team  with Vaughn Crawford and Donald Hansen  that launched the first scientifically excavated expedition at Tell al-Hiba (ancient Lagash) in 1968, a joint Metropolitan Museum of Art and NYU Institute of Fine Arts project, serving as the expedition's ceramicist and recording more than 80,000 sherds in secure archaeological context. He also directed fieldwork in Egypt, Yemen, and at Roman Sirmium in Yugoslavia, and authored Iraq's Marsh Arabs in the Garden of Eden (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005).
