Apulian Red-Figure Oinochoe (shape 3)

The wine jug has a low flattish handle, a bulbous body with trefoil mouth, and a low ring base. It is decorated with a woman wearing a sleeveless chiton moving to left, holding a mirror in her right hand, and a beaded wreath in her left. She wears a hairband (sphendone), a stephane, an earring, a necklace, and two bracelets on each arm. In the lower left field is a scroll with a diamond floral; in the lower right, a low stele; in the upper field, a phiale; in both upper corners, ivy leaves. The picture is framed by reserved bands; above the top border, a frieze of eggs. The underside of the foot is reserved, with a shell-like pattern in the clay (perhaps from the potter's wheel).
