438. Prothesis
Prothesis
Description
Pottery Pitcher. Clay: orange-buff clay, white grits, semilustrous brown-black paint. Shape: Flaring lip, near-vertical neck, plump ovoid body with two mastoi on the shoulder, ring foot; broad strap handle rising above rim, linked to the neck by a strut. Decoration: Neck: double meander between dotted lozenge chains; at either side, columns of check pattern between diagonal bars. Shoulder: central metope with kneeling goat, head reverted , above latticed triangles; at each side, columns of diagonal bars and mastos panel containing bird, dots and latticed triangle; eight-point star within circle on each mastos. In the long lateral panels, hatched zigzags with latticed triangles in the spaces, each bordered by columns of latticing. Dotted lozenge chain. Figured zone around belly: alternating with rows of female mourners, four prothesis scenes, on front, back, and each flank. All four share the following details, although with some variations and omissions: a four-legged bier and, below, a kneeling goat with reverted head; a shroud in double outline, usually hatched, and drawn upward to reveal the corpse; and a latticed pillow near the head of the deceased. Variations: (a) in front, to the right of the bier, a latticed tongue with double outline; (b), on one flank, the shroud is omitted; (c) on the back, a second goat to the left of the bier, and the shroud is filled with a zigzag; and (d), on the other flank, the corpse has no hands or pillow and, to the right of the bier, is a smaller mourner, perhaps an adolescent female, with breasts shown. Filling ornaments: standing and pendent latticed triangles, dotted circles, columns of chevron flanked by dots between mourners. Lower body: lozenge chain, small dotted triangles with prolonged and curved apices, dots in the field; vertical wavy lines, paint on foot. Handle: serpent flanked by dots, dotted ovals in the field, between vertical lines; above, panel with twelve-point star, between bars. Groups of nine bars on rim, band inside. --The British Museum
439. Wedding of Peleus and Thetis
Wedding of Peleus and Thetis
Description
Pottery: black-figured dinos (wine-bowl) and stand, incorporating the fragments 1978.6-6.1 and 2, and 1978.6-7.1 to 3. It shows the Wedding of Peleus and Thetis, above friezes of real and imaginary animals. Peleus receives the wedding guests at his house; among them Dionysos, Hebe, and the centaur Cheiron. Between the columns of Peleus' house is the artist's signature "Sophilos painted me". The first chariot in the procession carries Zeus and Hera, the second Poseidon and Amphitrite, the third Hermes and Apollo and the fourth Ares and Aphrodite. Between the chariots walk groups of Fates, Graces and Muses, one of whom plays the pipes. Athena and Artemis ride in the last chariot, and are followed by Thetis' grandfather, the fish-tailed sea-god Okeanos, his wife Tethys, and Eileithyia, goddess of childbirth. Hephaistos brings up the rear, seated side-saddle on a mule. --The British Museum, H.A.G. Brijder, Siana Cups II, The Heidelberg Painter, 8, Amsterdam, Allard Pierson Museum, 1991
