Melian Ceramic Ladle with Rosette
by Attic Black
€135,00
A handmade reproduction of a prehistoric ceramic ladle (arytaina) from Phylakopi on the island of Melos, dating to the Late Cycladic I period (c. 1600–1500 BC).
The interior is decorated with a striking dark brown, multi-petalled rosette surrounding a central circle, painted against a light-coloured background. The motif, rendered in deep reddish tones on the original, reflects the strong Minoan influence on Cycladic pottery during this period.
The original is exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens (Room 6, Phylakopi collection).
