Description

Greek, Attic; Oinochoe; Vases; The vases in this case with the accession numbers that begin with 30.118.1 belong to a deposit that was found at the Sanctuary of Zeus on Mount Hymettos, near Athens. The objects date to a period of about two centuries, from the late tenth to the late eighth centuries B.C. and illustrate the nature of ordinary dedications. Of note is the considerable number of small pieces. The vases were acquired as a gift of the Greek government.

This oinochoe and its counterparts, 30.ll8.18, 30.118.20, 30.118.40, illustrate Athenian artists' mastery of potting and decoration from the beginning of the Geometric period.
