Lekythos raffigurante tessitrici di lana e una donna tra giovanetti e fanciulle

Attributed to the Amasis Painter
ca. 550–530 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 154
Si racconta che questa lekythos (anfora per olio) sia stata ritrovata insieme ad un’altra, anch’essa conservata nel Museo, che rappresenta una processione nuziale, in cui la moglie è accompagnata nottetempo a casa dello sposo. I due vasi forse erano doni nuziali che accompagnavano la destinataria nella tomba. La tessitura della stoffa, un importante compito domestico, è qui descritta nei dettagli, con un’attenzione particolare al telaio verticale. Ai lati del telaio delle donne pesano, filano la lana e piegano teli di stoffa. La scena doveva svolgersi nella parte della casa riservata alle donne.
