- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Cyprus, Archaic Period, ca. 8th to 7th century BCE. A gorgeous bichrome pottery vessel of an intriguing form with a small circular base supported by three looped feet that meet in the center. The ancient jar presents in a pear-shape with impressively thin walls that dramatically swell outward from the base and then back in again to form a sloped shoulder and thick cylindrical neck with a slightly flared rim. Nine lovely horizontal bands of maroon pigment adorn the buff-hued pottery; four straight and one wavy along the edge of the shoulder, one wavy flanked by two straight where the neck meets the shoulder, and then an elegant lone striation halfway down the neck. An exceptional artifact granting a humbling perspective on human history. Size: 6.75" W x 8.625" H (17.1 cm x 21.9 cm)
At this time, Cyprus became part of a pan-Mediterranean culture that included Archaic-period Greek and Phoenician influence, and bowls like these were part of a larger trade network as well as artistic and commercial conversation. An exemplar of Greek Cypriot pottery that preceded the emergence of Classical Greek pottery.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private Daryl Gruber Kulok collection - Daryl Gruber Kulok (1960-2019) had homes in New York city and Connecticut and was fascinated with archaeology of the holy land. In America, she was on the philanthropic board of the Lila Gruber Research Foundation. Later in her life, she spent a good deal of time in Jerusalem where she was on the board of the American Friends of the Bible Lands, and was a serious collector of ancient art and artifacts. She was a student of biblical archaeology, and dedicated to supporting causes related to Israel. She was a major benefactor the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem, an institution "where people of all faiths are welcome to learn and understand our shared history." She was the key contributor to "Three Faces of Monotheism," a major exhibition there in 2007 which explored shared themes between Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Many of the pieces she donated are part of the Bible Lands Museum permanent collection.
