Greek, South Italian, ca. 350–300 BC

Triangular wall fragment (sherd) from a red-figure vessel, with lustrous black gloss. At the lower right is the head of a woman in profile. Her hair is gathered at the back of the head and her features are drawn in fine black relief lines. Next to her head is a rosette or phiale in the field. Above is a broad reserved curving band with a tapering leaf or tendril, partly covered in white deposits. Originally part of a painted vessel. The female head in profile is a very common motif on Apulian lekanis lids, kantharoi and oinochoai. Fragment with old breaks on all sides.

Size: 2 x 2 x 2.5 inches (5.1 x 5.1 x 6.4 cm), side lengths.
