Apulian Kylix – South Italian Greek Pottery Antiquities 4th Century BC
Located in London, GB
Apulian Geometric Kylix – South Italian Greek Pottery, 4th Century BC
A fine Apulian kylix from South Italy, dating to the 4th century BC, decorated in a bold geometric leaf/foliate motif typical of the Apulian workshops. This elegant drinking cup features a shallow bowl, graceful elongated handles with upturned ends, and a low foot—classic elements of the South Italian Greek kylix form.
The exterior displays a warm natural clay ground contrasted with strong black-painted decoration, while the interior is finished in a rich, lustrous black slip. The combination of geometric leaf stylisation and refined proportions places this kylix within the later phase of Apulian regional production. the style developed in Athens and later was widely adopted by Greek colonies in Southern Italy.

African Tribal Statue Osseyba or Reliquary Figure Kota Mohongwe Peoples Art
Located in Miami, FL
A fantastically hand-crafted piece by the Kota (or Bakota) tribe who are located in the northeastern region of Gabon. This figure, which is a Mahongwe reliquary figure as exhibited with its truncated almond-shaped face, is made of wound copper, hammered brass and wood. Reliquary figures were used as guardians to protect the revered bones of venerated family ancestors and leaders and ward off unwanted spirits. These figures are meant to embody intense powers and were also commonly used in communal rites and ritual performances.
This particular piece came from an American collector who traveled the African continent and collected African artifacts for over 50 years. This piece has a beautiful, organically aged patina acquired naturally over time and use. It is mounted on a custom wooden display stand. We believe it dates back to the early to mid-1900s but could be older. We are listing as 20th century because we did not have it appraised.
This African Tribal Statue Osseyba or Reliquary Figure Kota (Bakota) Mohongwe Peoples decorative art would clearly stand out as part of a collection or by itself in any setting. Truly unique, eye-catching and engaging.
Dimensions on stand: 25 3/4" High, 7" Wide, 5 1/2" Deep
