- Lot Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. An elegant drinking vessel, hand-carved from creamy alabaster. The ancient vessel exhibits a flat, annular base and impressively thin walls that expand outwards to a circular rim above a deep basin. Warm hues of beige and honey dance across the smoothly sculpted surface of this graceful dish. The interior has been drilled out using a series of progressively finer bits as well as copious amounts of abrasive sand, and faint traces of the original drill marks are still visible along the basin walls. Size: 3.625" in diameter x 4.9" H (9.2 cm x 12.4 cm)
The Egyptians were master carvers and used the abundant stone deposits in the Nile Valley and the Eastern Sahara throughout their history to fashion sculptures, vessels, and monumental buildings. The perfect symmetry of this example demonstrates their skill. Alabaster vessels were often personal items, and were frequently buried with their owners.
Provenance: ex-private West Hollywood, California, USA collection; ex-private Missouri, USA collection; ex-private Florida, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000
