- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Amlash, ca. 1400 to 1000 BCE. A robust brownware with a long-spouted pitcher bearing a form resembling a graceful bird with a long beak and a curving neck. The vessel features a spherical body with a slight piriform shape including a sturdy columned strap handle rising from its upper register on its verso. A group of six narrow lines are incised across the vessel's body. This is a fine minimalist construction with a striking silhouette! Spouts like these were likely used to pour ritual libations during religious and social ceremonies, perhaps during burial rites as many have been found in burial sites. Size: 11.5" W x 8.8" H (29.2 cm x 22.4 cm)
Cf. "The World of Persian Pottery, The Gluck Collection." Tokyo, 1980, pl. 80.
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.
