(attributed to): Red-figured volute-krater ("Hamiltan Vase"), made in Apulia, Italy, Greek, ca. 325 BCE. Wine bowl depicting a white naiskos (small temple) and its occupant, a youth and his horse. Ionic columns support a pediment; the ceiling beams are shown receding into the distance. Below is a plinth decorated with a spiral design. Behind him hang his breastplate and his greaves, (armour for the lower leg). In the course of the fourth century BC, vase painting in Apulia grew increasingly ornate. The elaborate decoration on the neck of this vase, where a female head emerges from an intricate design of scrolls and flowers, is characteristic of late Apulian style. The vase was one of the finest pieces in the first collection of Sir William Hamilton. Josiah Wedgwood produced several replicas of it in black basalt. GR, 1772.3-20.14.+ (Vases F 284).
