# Ancient Apulian Magna Graecia Bell Krater, c. 350 BC.

A finely crafted **Ancient Apulian Magna Graecia Bell Krater**, dating to **c. 350 BC**, used as a **wine mixing bowl** in classical antiquity. This **red-figure pottery vessel** features **twin handles**, a **footed base**, and a **jet-black glaze**, skillfully decorated with **red-figure painted scenes accented in white and yellow pigments**.

**Side A** depicts a **seated maiden**, elegantly draped in a sleeveless garment, adorned with a **beaded necklace and wristlets**, holding a box in her extended left hand while gracefully turning to gaze over her shoulder.

**Side B** features a **"lady of fashion"**, her hair styled in a **saccos and bun**, delicately gazing into a **handheld mirror**.

These scenes are framed by a **curled wave design band** below and a **chevron pattern beneath the rim**, characteristic of Apulian artistry.

A beautifully preserved example of **Magna Graecia craftsmanship**, this piece offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural traditions of the ancient Greek colonies in southern Italy.

**Provenance:**  
NJ Collection, acquired from **Arte Primitivo and Palmyra Heritage Gallery**. Previously part of the collection of **Dr. Ruth Schwalbe**, PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
