- Lot Description
Ancient Central Asia, Bactrian, ca. 2500 to 2250 BCE. A beautiful jar of a squat form with a flat base, a cylindrical body, and a tubular neck with a flared rim, hand-carved from grey-blue chlorite schist. The top of the shoulder is decorated with linear motifs which form triangles in alternating orientations, and the body is adorned with meticulously incised crosshatched panels which, by emulating a densely woven mat, create a fascinating textured surface that is pleasing to observe and hold. Polished stone vessels are common grave goods from this time period, and they often were left in the tomb with a food offering. Vessels with more elaborate decorative and iconographic programs like this example perhaps contained prized possessions or luxury products. Size: 2.6" in diameter x 2.8" H (6.6 cm x 7.1 cm)
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010; ex-John Krysko collection, New York, USA, acquired in the 1980s
