R. Lalique Vase

1928

16 inches tall

France

This molded and frosted "Palaestra" vase

pays homage to ancient Greek vases

depicting a gathering of nude athletes

at a Palaestra,

a Greek wrestling school.

In addition to a gymnasium,

a palaestra contained dressing rooms,

education areas, social rooms and baths.
