Fictile ware rhyton in the form of a lion. Photographer: Thompson, Stephen
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Fine Arts, Photography of
Side view of the vessel, made in the form of a lion, with the handle raised over the curved spine of the animal, in Newton's view possibly used to contain oil: '…The design of this lion seems borrowed from that of a bronze weight, and this notion is confirmed by the archaicism of the modelling generally, which is especially seen in the mane. ... It is in admirable condition, and executed with extreme refinement and mastery over the material. The hair is represented by fine lines stippled in brown on the clay. Height, 5 7/8 in., length 7 1/2 in.'
