Terracotta flaring bowl on stand

Terracotta flaring bowl on stand. Culture: Greek, Asia Minor. Dimensions: h. with stand 9 in. (22.9 cm); h. without stand 7 1/4 in. (18.4 cm). Date: 2nd-1st century B.C.. The unusual shape of this bowl, with flaring foot and rim, and bell shaped contour resembles an attenuated calyx krater without handles. While exact parallels for the form of this vessel are scarce, its decoration of swags and bows tied with olives are motifs that find close correspondance on Lagynos ware, as demonstrated by 47.11.1 in this case. The stand on which this bowl rests may be a small incense burner, suggested by its similarity to such objects also from Sardis.
