Agamennone Vase

Portraying one of the kings of Mycenae from Greek mythology, this precious ceramic vase is deftly crafted by hand with its base and decorations worked on a lathe. The glossy vertical silhouette softly flares upwards and features a cylindrical base that is linked to the anthropomorphic element by means of the spiral, hair-like decorations. Extremely stylized facial features emerge from the flat face-shaped element adding depth to the piece.
