Framed Print of Funerary Amphora with Scenes of Mourning, 720-700 BC. Creator: Philadelphia Painter
Funerary Amphora with Scenes of Mourning, 720-700 BC. Vase with Funerary Scenes.
Additional Info: Bands of meanders, waves, cables, and checkerboards are interspersed with figural scenes on this amphora (storage vessel). A row of dancing women decorates one side of the neck, while the opposite side depicts dancing men accompanied by a pipe player. A frieze of grazing horses runs along the shoulder. Below this are processions of men in chariots and warriors carrying round shields. Snakes modeled in the round decorate the handles of the vase, as well as the rim and the shoulder. The figures and animals on this vase are rendered largely in silhouette with geometric forms, a style characteristic of Greek Geometric art (about 900-700 BC). Painted figural scenes in this period focused primarily on funerary rituals and the world of heroic warriors. The dancing figures on the neck of this vessel are likely engaged in a ritual dance, while the chariots and armed soldiers on the body represent ceremonial processions or funerary games. Snakes were traditionally associated with death, and probably also refer to the vase's function. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Heritage Art/Heritage Images
