APULIAN BELL KRATER DEPICTING APOLLO
Ca. 400 - 300 BC
A red-figure bell krater, a vessel for mixing wine and water during the symposium, crafted from terracotta and decorated with white and yellow details over black glaze. It features a large, deep body with a flared rim supported by a stemmed round foot. Two upturned handles facilitate ease of handling. Side "A" of the krater most likely depicts a seated Apollo taking centre stage, draped in a fastened below his belt. He holds a decorated patera in his left hand and a long sceptre with thyrsus in his right. Adorned with a radiant Stephane in his hair, a naked man is in front of him, and a dressed woman is holding a torch at his back. Side "B" features a similar scene. A laurel leaf wreath runs beneath the rim, stylised palmettes are below the handles framed by tongues and rays, and a meander pattern encircles the bottom of the vessel.
