- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, southwestern Caspian Sea region, northern Iran, Tepe Siaulk (also Tepe Sialk), ca. 9th to late 8th century BCE. A beautiful, hand-built pottery jar featuring an inverted piriform body atop a flat base, a rounded shoulder, and a flared vertical rim. The front of the vessel exhibits a narrow, beaked spout surmounted by a highly stylized zebu bull with a grand pair of horns, and a quintet of subsidiary vessels protrudes from the shoulder and showcases faintly pecked patterns around their respective shoulders. Faded remains of red-orange and white pigment indicate just how ornate this vessel would have looked when first created. Size: 12.375" W x 11.625" H (31.4 cm x 29.5 cm)
Cf. Sotheby's, Erlenmeyer Collection (Part I), no. 247
