Reference: CGA.26.662
Artist: Unattributed
Culture: Boeotian, Greece
Medium: Ceramic

Wide, terracotta shallow bowl with two ribbon handles and narrow base ring. Circling the exterior is a file of frontal-faced panthers in the Corinthian style, with details in added red and white, floral and linear filling ornament, black strokes around the outer rim, the black interior decorated with circles of added red slip. A rare example, the treatment of the panthers is unusual in being represented with only one foreleg and one hind leg, and unlike any of the few named Boeotian lekane painters. For Boeotian lekanai, see Kilinski (1990) 25-30, pls. 25-28; Boardman (1998), 215, 229-230, figs. 450-452.
