Women's Heads Kantharos
Women's Heads Kantharos
Panorama Zoom

A ceramic reproduction of an antique double-handled wine cup, kantharos, adorned with the heads of two women. The original, part of the Hermitage collection, was created by a craftsman from the Castellani family. One face reveals archaic features, while the other face is conveyed realistically. Such vessels were popular in ancient Greece during the 6th-4th centuries BC, although earlier kantharoi, such as the famous cup with pigeons of Homer's Nestor, are known.

Ceramics.
Height 7 in. (17.5 cm).
