OlNOCHOE WITH RELIEF DECORATION
Baked clay
H: 24.6 cm.
Hellenistic Period, 3rd century B.C.
Xanthos (K›n›k) - A.514
Restored oinochoe with a light blue glaze, a trefoil mouth and a ring base. Applied decoration
in relief from a mould was applied to the wheel made vase. The applied relief is of a female figure before an altar. The figure is carrying a cornucopia (horn of plenty) over her left arm and making a libation. She is thought to represent the Egyptian queen Berenice IInd, the wife of Ptolemy IIIrd, from the inscription inscribed on the shoulder of the vase.
