Antique Greek Art on Pottery Apulian Skyphos 380 BC COA

                   Ancient Apulian Skyphos, twin handled vessel, round base depicting an owl.

The oldest examples of this style are kraters decorated with grouped or isolated figures (370–360 BC). These scenes are rare, however. The smaller vases most often bear plant decoration, from which emerge animals and female busts or heads. This motif is also present on the necks of Apulian “ornate style” red-figure kraters. Another frequent element on the vase necks is the hanging theater mask, examples of which can be found on the two oinochoae in the Louvre (K 596, K 598).
