Title:		Black Glaze Oinochoe Fragments with Relief, Paint and Gilded Decoration
Category:		Pottery
Description:		The handle, triangular in section, part of the flaring trefoil lip, the full circle of the neck, and the fragmentary shoulder remain; also a number of non-joining pieces from the walls, four of these with relief decoration traces. Around the neck an ivy garland in heavy clay with traces of gilding on stem, leaves and berries. Below, three dancing figures in applied relief with added color. Right, a maenad in thin chiton left; she wears necklace and bracelets, and carries a large tympanum. White, with traces of yellow, on dress and flesh; pink over white on the tympanum, behind which flutters a gilded taenia(?). Center, another dancing female figure, the outline of her head (broken away), her thyrsos, in high relief with considerable remains of gilding, and a bit of her flying skirt remain. Next left are some feathery tendrils, painted pink, then a blue wing tip, and another thyrsos belonging to the third figure. A non-joining fragment belongs to this figure, and shows the body, nude at the waist, with drapery hanging over the extended left arm. Added gold on the wing. The other figured fragments preserve remains of legs and feet (two of them on the ground line) and a bit of drapery. The figures are applied in moulded relief; the details (wings, taeniae, ivy, etc.) are in added clay thickly applied with a brush. Thin fabric; black glaze somewhat mottled in firing; inside, below shoulder, thin brown wash. Chronology: 4th. c. B.C. (Publication).
