Title: | Oinochoe: Woman's Head | |
Category: | Plastic Vases | |
Description: | Handle, mouth, chip from bottom, part of diadem(?), and some curls, missing. Head inclining towards her proper left. Heavy spreading neck with Venus rings indicated; full mouth, long nose. Most of forehead shown. Curly hair with additional corkscrew-curls stuck one by one separately; some of them show above the broad head band she is wearing. Below the band, woolen wreath. Behind the ears projections, one broken off, the other chipped; traces of something else coming down on each side of the face behind the hair. Had the head been janiform, these things could very easily be explained as the back of the ears and round beard of the Silen's head (e.g. JHS 49 (1929), p. 73, fig. 26). The head, fillet, "ears" and "beard" covered with white, used rather as underpainting; traces of pink preserved in several places. On wreath and hair, dark yellow. Good glaze. White gone at places. Cf. in general: CVA Oxford, p. 10, text to pl. IV:7-8; JdI 32 (1917) p. 56 (BM E 790). | |
