Set of Two Attic Red-Figure Lekythoi | Owl & Domestic Scene (8cm & 9cm)
Περιγραφή Προϊόντος (English)
A study in Athenian miniature artistry.
This set features two exquisite Aryballos-style Lekythoi (8cm & 9cm), faithfully replicating the iconic Attic Red-Figure pottery of the 5th century B.C.. These small vessels were essential in the daily lives of ancient Athenians, primarily used for holding scented oils and perfumes
The Owl: A tribute to the goddess Athena, the owl is rendered with the characteristic wide eyes and decorative plumage, symbolizing wisdom and the city of Athens.
Domestic Scene: Depicts a seated woman holding a mirror, a common motif in Attic pottery that offers a glimpse into the private life and "gynaikonitis" (women's quarters) of antiquity.
The aryballos shape is defined by its rounded body and narrow neck, designed to dispense oil slowly and precisely.
Artisan Quality: Hand-painted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring each piece carries the authentic spirit of an archaeological find
