- Lot Description
Ancient Near East/Asia Minor, Anatolia, Yortan culture, Early Bronze Age II, ca. 2700 to 2400 BCE. An enormous wheel-thrown pottery jug with a trio of conical feet, a spherical body with a tapered shoulder, a squat neck with a tall, beaked spout, and an arching ring handle. The sizable vessel features three petite conical protrusions around the shoulder, and above the center nodule is a pierced suspension loop. Most of the exterior surface is decorated with a lustrous jet-black glaze that imbues it with an attractive presentation, and traces of green pigment are visible near the handle. A beautiful example of early Yortan artistry! Size: 7.75" W x 12.375" H (19.7 cm x 31.4 cm).
Ancient Western Anatolia is famous for a number of large ruins, most notably Troy (Hisarlik), but many mysteries remain. The Yortan culture is known through a burial site in the valley of Bakir Cai that has not been well-studied. Adults and children were buried, crouched, in large terracotta storage containers; around them were placed a great deal of pottery in the form of jugs, jars, and occasionally bowls, much of it blackware just like this piece. An incredibly rare and well-preserved example from a little-known culture!
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-German private collection, 1980s
