HUGE GNATHIAN SKYPHOS DEPICTING A SEATED APOLLO
Ca. 350 - 280 BCA Gnathia black-glazed pottery skyphos with a cup-shaped form, and two horizontal handles symmetrically affixed to opposite sides. Side “A” features a captivating grapevine motif, intricately painted with white, red, and yellow pigments. The main scene on this side features a seated man, on a throne embellished with volutes, holding a large patera in his right hand and a circular wreath in his left. Side “B”, in contrast, features a simpler design comprising a horizontal line of grapevines. A skyphos is a distinctive type of ancient Greek drinking vessel, primarily utilised for serving wine.
