Lekythos con mujeres tejiendo lana y una mujer flanqueada por jóvenes y doncellas

Attributed to the Amasis Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 154

Se cree que este lekythos (frasco de aceite) fue encontrado junto con otro, también conservado en el Museo, cuyo tema es una procesión nupcial en la que una novia es llevada de noche a la casa del novio. Quizás las dos vasijas eran regalos de boda que acompañaron a la desposada en su tumba. Aquí se ilustra en detalle la manufactura de tejidos, una importante tarea doméstica, con especial énfasis en un telar vertical. A ambos lados del telar unas mujeres pesan e hilan lana, y doblan piezas de tela. Estas escenas tienen lugar en la parte de la casa reservada para las mujeres.
