"Wild Goat Style" Oinochoe (Wine Pitcher): Wild Goats and Geese
Trefoil-mouthed oinochoe (wine pitcher) of light reddish-brown clay containing some mica, with white slip and dark brown painted decoration that has in places misfired to red (additional red highlights?). The decoration consists of a guilloche on the neck, five and a half water birds on the shoulder, four grazing wild goats on the belly, and a lotus and bud chain on the base; various filling ornaments appear in the two animal friezes. The handle is a modern restoration.
