羊毛を織る女性と若い男女に囲まれた女性を描いたレキュトス

Attributed to the Amasis Painter

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 154

このレキュトス(香油瓶)は、同じく当美術館に収蔵されている、夜に夫の家へ連れられる花嫁の行列を表したもうひとつのレキュトスとともに出土したと伝えられています。このふたつの瓶は、結婚祝いの品として花嫁に贈られ、埋葬の際に遺体とともに埋められた可能性があります。当時の重要な家事であった布織りの作業が詳細に描かれており、特に縦型の織機が強調されています。その両側では女性が羊毛を量って紡ぎ、布地を折りたたむ様子が表されています。家の中の女性専用の部分を描いた場面だと思われます。
