Nikosthenic Amphora, Nikosthenes, c. 530-510 BC, Cleveland Museum of Art: Greek and Roman Art

The distinctive shape of this amphora is a trademark of the potter Nikosthenes, who signed his name below one handle. More than 100 vases are known to be from the same workshop; almost all of them were found in Etruria. Although they were made in Greece, they appealed much more to an Etruscan clientele because the form was modeled on Etruscan metal and clay prototypes. On the neck, two youths dance around a krater. On the shoulder is a sphinx between two lions. On the body is a continuous procession of seven dancing satyrs alternating with six dancing women. Size: Diameter: 16.9 cm (6 5/8 in.); Overall: 31.1 cm (12 ¼ in.); Diameter of rim: 13.3 cm (5 ¼ in.); Diameter of foot: 10.7 cm (4 3/16 in.) Medium: black-figure terracotta

Officina Zoè - Mamma Sirena

“We were rediscovering the bond with Aphrodite, the Mother Mermaid, the Mother Goddess, a bond that’s certainly deeper and older than the one with Saint Paul, whose grace we don’t need to ask for anyway since he’s more of a culprit than a savior.“ – Cinzia Marzo
