Oinochoe
Collection: Museum of Art and Archaeology, Univ. of Missouri-Columbia
R. M. Cook (1973) dated this oinochoe, and suggested an origin in or near Chios. (Emborio?)
Indeed, several elements of decoration, when taken together, support this: the white slip, the pinkish-buff clay, the sparse and neatly drawn filling ornament -- particularly the pendent oval and the hatched triangle -- the goat's reserved belly-stripe with interior row of dots, the broken cable pattern on the neck -- especially as it hooks from right to left -- the extensive use of rays, and the size and configuration of the oinochoe. Chian pottery of this period is of consistent, high quality; it has finesse and control
