Rosy clay olpe, dating back to 640-630 BCE, attributed to the Transitional Proto-Corinthian period. Characterized by an ovoidal belly that tapers upwards, it rests on a low fillet foot. A cord separates the body from the flared neck and lip, while the ribbon handle, which rises above the rim, features a longitudinal groove. The rim is distinguished by two symmetrical protrusions relative to the handle attachment.
The decoration, executed in black, red, and white, is particularly refined: The lip is entirely painted, both inside and out.A radiating pattern of red petals on a white background adorns the shoulder.The belly is crossed by three pairs of white lines on a black background.The bottom of the vase, painted white, features groups of three or four vertically arranged petals.With a height of 18 cm and a mouth diameter of 10.8 cm, this artifact has reached us in good condition, testifying to the technical and decorative mastery of Proto-Corinthian artisans. The images show how the final 3D model, enriched with photographic data, was obtained by modeling point clouds with extreme precision in millimeter measurements. The virtual model has been prepared for 3D printing, allowing for the creation of a tactile replica of the artifact.
