Class O: The Sabouroff Class of Head Vases

The Sabouroff Class of Head Vases is a group of ancient Greek pottery, specifically a type of Attic black-figure vase. They are characterized by their distinctive heads with large, stylized eyes and a strong sense of three-dimensionality. The vases are named after the Sabouroff collection, which included many examples. The Sabouroff Class vases were likely produced in Athens in the 6th century BC and feature stylized human and animal figures. The vases are now found in museums and private collections worldwide, and are highly prized by collectors for their distinctive style and historical significance.
