Canosiner Askos with head of the Medusa, Formerly Johannes W. F. Collection Reimers (Hamburg), clay, quickly turned, hand modeled, pressed into the form, painted (ceramic), cold painting, clay, Total: Height: 45 cm; Diameter: 35 cm; Muzzle diameter: 14.3 cm; Base diameter: 17.5 cm, Ceramics, Medusa, Late Classicism (Greek Antiquity), Early Hellenistic, Antiquity, The characteristic inventory of a Canosin chamber tomb includes the mighty Askos, a type of vessel that can be understood as the transformation of a filled wine tube made of animal skin into clay. The polychrome painting played an important role in all the Canosin Askoi. Here two masks of the Gorgo Medusa - recognizable by the snakes knotted at the neck - sit on the pink vessel wall. On the neck are clearly visible remains of a painted seven-leaf palmette. Unpainted areas on the sides indicate that further plastic elements were added. Together with other vessels, this Askos can be assigned to a grave called Ipogeo Reimers.
