- Lot Description
Central Asia, modern day Afghanistan, Kushan Empire, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. A beautiful wheel-formed pottery vessel with bi-chrome geometric and zoomorphic forms on the exterior. The vessel rests on a flat discoid foot that supports the piriform body. Flanking handles rise from the shoulders to the neck of the vessel, just below the thick rim. Dotted and undulating line motifs are painted along the neck and body in dark hues. Three stylized horned animals, probably bulls, with humps and large circular eyes, ring the midsection. Many people of the Kushan empire were nomadic cattle herders; the humped zebu bull is a popular theme that probably symbolizes the strength and virility. This is a beautiful piece that may have been created as a votive vessel, or even for trade. Size: 8.5" W x 10" H (21.6 cm x 25.4 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and/or of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
Provenance: private California, USA collection, by descent, moved from Germany in 1997, originally collected in the 1970s in Hamburg, Germany
