APULIAN RED-FIGURE BELL KRATER WITH MAENAD AND EROS
Ca. 350 BC.
A pottery bell krater composed of a bell-shaped body with a broad flange featuring a round rim and a pair of handles on its sides. The vessel is supported by a stemmed foot with a circular base. The krater is adorned with a black glaze and red figure decoration. On Side A, a maenad, elegantly draped in a long tunic fastened at her shoulders and cinched at the waist, stands with a subtle weight on her left leg. Holding a thyrsus and tympanum, she faces a seated, nude and winged Eros. Turning to Side B, the scene features two himation-clad ephebi, with the left figure holding a staff. The lower border of the krater is adorned with a Greek key pattern interspersed with crosses. Additionally, a laurel band encircles the underside of the flange, with palmettes embellishing the handle plates. This piece is accompanied by a historical report from Alessandro Neri, an international Cultural Heritage expert based in Florence, Italy.
