Description

A HELLENISTIC BRONZE OINOCHOE (WINE JUG)

Possibly Etruscan, dating probably to the 5th to 4th century BC or earlier. Finely cast, the ovoid body gently tapering towards the base, with rounded shoulders rising to a slightly waisted neck ending in a beaked trefoil mouth. The exterior depicting a continuous theatrical scene in which standing male figure, likely of heroic type, holds a delicate female figure by the arm while another male, posed gracefully, observes them attentively. Three additional figures, two shown at repose on a triclinium and one seated with refined composure, all rendered in the Hellenistic manner, appear to witness the unfolding drama.

Provenance: The collection of The Zelnik István Southeast Asian Gold Museum, acquired in Athens, Greece, in the 1990s. Dr. István Zelnik, President of the Hungarian South and Southeast Asian Research Institute, is a former high-ranking Hungarian diplomat who spent several decades in Southeast Asia, building the largest known private collection of Asian art in Europe.
Condition: Fair condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear and casting irregularities. Expected weathering and deep corrosion. Light warping. Scattered small nicks and few dents. The bronze surface exhibiting a rich, naturally grown patina, extensively covered with vibrant malachite and azurite encrustations.
