Vase of outstanding provenance, acquired in 1962, well before the UNESCO World Heritage Convention of 1972.
Pagenstecher lekythos showing a goose with high swung neck, massive body with distinct wing tips, and detailed feet.
The beak once rendered with white color, faint discoloration of the eye. Above the bird a dot rosette.
Ascending tendrils on the sides, a linear palmette on the back.
The decoration scheme is characteristic for the Sicilian Marianopoli-Gela Group.
The vase is quite heavy and thus thick-walled – no doubt to limit the volume of the precious liquid it was designed to hold.
For a similar example, cf. pl. 26.d-f (Allard Pierson Museum 10.276) in: Rolf Hurschmann. Die Pagenstecher-Lekythoi. Berlin/New York 1997.
