All auctions / Silver & Gold / STUNNING GREEK BRONZE HYDRIA WITH SILVER APPLIQUES OF SILENUS BETWEEN
Ca. 350 BC. A very rare bronze hydria with an ovoid body on a spreading foot, a broad shoulder, cylindrical neck and wide overhanging rim. Twin upturned handles are mounted on drop-shaped attachment plates cast with bearded satyr masks. The front is decorated with silver appliques of Silenus flanked by two dancing maenads in flowing robes. Silenus, the aged companion and tutor of Dionysus, and the maenads, the god�s female followers, belong to his thiasos. Their appearance on the hydria therefore alludes directly to the Dionysiac sphere of wine, festivity and ritual drinking. For similar see: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Object Number: 51.11.8. Size: 450mm x 390mm; Weight: 6.26kg Provenance: Private collection, London; acquired in Belgium; prior ownership in a Dutch private collection assembled in the 1970s�1980s. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
