Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In collection of Amsterdam, Allard Pierson museum, inventory number 15002.

I took this photo on 2019-05-19.

Description from museum follows.

Lekyth (oil flask) depicting a mother holding up her little boy who reaches out to her. In the culture that created this vase, producing a male heir is the most important purpose in the life of a woman. In the Early Classical Period (48-450 BC), images on pottery and terracottas reveal a shift. Instead of masculine themes as battles and drinking parties, feminine topics emerge that emphasize the significance of private life.

Pottery, Athens (Greece), c. 460 BC (inv. 15002)

Nederlands: Lekyth (olieflesje) die een Moeder toont die haar zoontje optilt, dat zijn armen naar haar uitstrekt. In de cultuur die dit vaasje schiep, was het voortbrengen van een zoon het belangrijkste doel voor een vrouw. In de Vroeg Klassieke Periode (48-450 v. Chr.), tonen beelden op aardewerk en terracotta’s een verandering. In plaats van mannelijke thema’s als strijd en drinkgelagen, verschijnen vrouwelijke onderwerpen die het belang van het persoonlijk leven benadrukken. Aardewerk, Athene (Griekenland), ca. 460 v. Chr. (inv. 15002)
