Circa 340-320 BC, Apulia An attractive Apulian red-figure pottery patera, the tondo decorated with a Lady of Fashion painted in profile wearing a saccos and an elaborate coiffure, encircled by a band of wave motifs and a surrounding register of undulating leafy berry vines highlighted with added fugitive white and yellow pigment. The form is inherently attractive with its large and relatively shallow bowl, flattened rim, upraised twin looped handles that are further adorned with fluting and flanked with raised button-like knob appliques, and a band of black wave motifs around the perimeter.
