Title
Gold phiale (libation bowl)
Object type Late Classical or Hellenistic Greek phiale; Gold and Silver
Description
Ancient Greek metal libation bowl. Inscribed on the base sketchily in Greek, "Pausi", and more deeply engraved in Punic (Carthaginian) characters, an indication of weight. This libation bowl, decorated with bees, acorns, and beechnuts, is worked in repoussé. Phialai decorated with acorns were being made by the late sixth century B.C. and must have been traditional. Acorns could also be seen on the phialai held by the caryatids of the Erechtheum on the Akropolis in Athens, as we learn from Roman copies found in Hadrian's villa at Tivoli.
Date 4th–3rd century B.C.
Medium Gold
Dimensions H. 1 7/16 in. (3.6 cm); diameter 9 1/4 in. (23.5 cm)
