- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Arabian Peninsula, modern-day Oman, ca. early 1st millennium BCE. A gorgeous pottery storage urn with a petite circular base, a cylindrical body with a prominent central carination, tapered shoulders with a trio of applied loop handles, and a flared rim. The midsection is decorated with an integral cord bearing an impressed spiral pattern, and a second similar cord drapes between the upper rungs of each loop handle. Large pottery urns like this example were used across the ancient Near East for thousands of years to store substantial quantities of grain, fruits, and other foodstuffs. They were sometimes painted with bright decorative pigments so the owner could distinguish one urn from another, and this one still bears traces of its original red, yellow-orange, and white pigment. Size: 14.2" W x 22.7" H (36.1 cm x 57.7 cm).
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Louisa Montague collection, gifted by H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi, sovereign ruler of the Emirate of Sharjah, U.A.E., who was a collector and enthusiast of his countries culture
