Mr. René Van den Broek (d. 2004) collection, Belgium, reputedly acquired from the above ca. 1959, and exhibited at the Belgian Antiques Fair, held at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels in January 1968. Spanish art market.Canosan askoi were used as grave offerings as well as for oil storage. The Gorgon mask was a common motif which served to ward off evil, protecting the deceased with its apotropaic qualities. There is an askos in the Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities, University of Canterbury, New Zealand with similar figurative groupings of a Gorgon head flanked by Tritons, with grieving mourners (acc. no. JLMC 186.00). For another askos with Gorgon mask and Triton figurative decoration see R. Cassano (ed.), Principi, Imperatori, Vescovi: Duemila anni di Storia a Canosa, Venice, 1992, p.522-523, fig. 3. The combination of Medusa with Tritons, mermen who were part man, horse and fish, is fitting as Medusa is also associated with horses by being the mother of Pegasus. Moreover, both Tritons and Pegasus were the sons of the sea god, Poseidon. The use of sea imagery frequently occurs on such grave vessels. Cf. another similarly elaborate Canosan figurative askos in the British Museum, London, acc. no. 1862,0712.2.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
