• Lot Description
  Ca. 1000 BC. Luristani. Terracotta vessel in a mid reddish-brown fabric with globular body, inward flaring shoulder, slight rim decorated with applied ornamentation and long spout with knee-shaped support. The outside of the vessel opposite the spout is decorated with a raised rib and the spout itself is cut open at the top to facilitate easy of pouring. This beautiful piece attests to the highly skilled craftsmanship of ancient Western Asia, where artisans worked to create intricate tablewares for use in elaborate banquets. Banqueting was a major part of aristocratic culture in antiquity and required a range of specialised utensils and vessels such as this one. Good condition. Provenance: From an old British collection, acquired on the UK art market in the 1980s. Size: H:200mm / W:450mm ; 1600g
