The Volute in Late-Arretine Ware, and its Adoption in Early South Gaulish Terra Sigillata in the Tiberius-Claudius Period

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  29 November 2011

Extract

The adoption of the volute in later Arretine ware has been ably demonstrated by Oxé as the result of the unrolling and disarticulation of the drooping palmette—a transformation which Drexel had previously advocated and described.

The tendency of the drooping palmette to uncurl the tips of its leaflets (either upwards or downwards) was already visible in the Anta-capital, in a capital of a temple of Apollo at Didyma, and at Priene. No. 5 with an upward curl of the leaflets occurs on the Cyma of the tholos at Epidauros; a downward curl is visible in a terra-cotta metope, no. 4, at Pallazalle, Sicily, and on Arretine ware stamped C ANNI at Tübingen; also on an Arretine ATEIVS crater at Haltern.
