"Rare miniature chous decorated in Six\u2019s technique with the depiction of a kneeling child facing the viewer with outstretched arms.\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nThe naked child is masterfully rendered with typical podgy features and spotted hair. He wears a thong with amulets around the chest and over his left shoulder.\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nThe motif is connected to the Athenian Anestheria, an old festival held in honor of Dionysos, where three- or four-year-old children were initiated into the festivities.\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nThe few South Italian examples with a similar subject may be connected to Athenian potters who migrated to Italy after Athens\u2019 defeat at the Peloponnesian War.\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nFor further South Italian examples, cf. Beazley Archive nos. 9011931, 9003052, 1007573.\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nCeramic\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nGreek South Italy, mid 4 century BC\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nH.6.4 cm (2.5 in)\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nIntact, excellent condition.\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nPrivate collection New York\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\n&lt;br&gt;\r\nThe authenticity of the object is unconditionally guaranteed"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
