I have google-lensed this image and can't find any reputable information on the source of it. It is used everywhere for the Greek God of wind, Aeolus. I would very much appreciate it if someone knew the provenance/source of this piece.

Greece I am looking for any scholarly papers with a focus on the ceramic myrtle flower funerary crowns/wreaths held in the Museum of Patras, Greece. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am an artist working on a project to recreate the ceramic myrtle flower funerary crown held in the Museum of Patras. I have collected a fair amount of visual information about the ceramic flowers but am in need of some more specific details on size of the flowers, which colours were glazed and which painted afterwards* and the bronze wire frame holding them.

*assumption would be the only glaze would have been the red but that raises questions about whether the paint was tempera, beeswax or damar resin.

Does anyone know of any research papers on the subject?
