Lot 735
Eye-Catching Head Vase in Red Ware. Roman North Africa, 4th-early 5th century AD. A vividly realized characterization of Silenus as a balding man of advanced years, a bit ludicrous with a vine wreath on his head, but still with an air of mischief in his eyes. The jug with broad, ribbed strap handle and funnel mouth. Reassembled from a number of large pieces, the repairs barely noticeable. Height: 9-5/8". Choice and rare.
Estimated Value $2,750 - 3,500.
