Lot Essay


Trendall (op. cit.) listed the present volute-krater, together with one other, at the end of his final chapter, both by the same hand but without a specific attribution. He considered them to represent the late phase of the red-figure style, possibly the work of a provincial craftsman. The iconography carries on from what came prior with a seated figure within a funerary naiskos, framed by offering bearers (see p. 102 in Trendall, Red Figure Vases of South Italy and Sicily).
