Terracotta oinochoe (jug), Hellenistic, ca. 300 , Etruscan, Terracotta; Malacena black-glaze, H. 8 1/16 in. ( cm), Vases, The type, which clearly imitates more expensive metal vessels, is associated with Volterran workshops. In this case, a definite source of inspiration was Gnathian pottery from Southern Italy. Like this jug, Late Gnathian oinochoai are often ribbed and have elegantly curved handles that terminate in a satyr-head attachment and decorative borders in added color at the shoulder
