The Cairo Collective Egyptian Papyrus Paintings - Greek Vase - 8x10

Description

This beautiful piece represents a class Greek Vase. Greek Pottery from c. 1000 to c. 400 BCE provides not only some of the most distinctive vase shapes from antiquity but also some of the oldest and most diverse representations of the cultural beliefs and practices of the ancient Greeks. Further, pottery, with its durability (even when broken) and lack of appeal to treasure hunters, is one of the great archaeological survivors and is, therefore, an important tool for archaeologists and historians in determining the chronology of ancient Greece. Whatever their artistic and historical value though, the vast majority of Greek vases, despite now being dusty museum pieces, were actually meant for everyday use and, to paraphrase Arthur Lane, it is perhaps worth remembering that standing on a stone pavement and drenched with water, they would have once gleamed in the Mediterranean sun. Note: Each painting is unique, hand painted and may slightly differ from the image posted, including a possible slight variation in size and boarder styling.Thank you for taking a look at our offer today!
