An Attic black-figure lekythos, possibly 6th-5th century B.C., decorated in black and red pigments with a warrior attacking a centaur repairs Estimate £150-250 height 31cm There is a section of the rim and neck which has been broken out and restuck, there is also a large amount of encrusted dirt underneath the foot so it is impossible to say whether there is a hole or repair to this area as the neck is so narrow it is impossible to sign a torch in and look down, there is a white calcified residue to the exterior, particularly thick around the neck, handle and base, and some of the decoration is a little worn in places otherwise in reasonable condition.
