- Lot Description
Ancient Asia Minor, Western Anatolia, Yortan culture, Early Bronze Age II, ca. 2700 to 2400 BCE. A fine gathering of three wheel-thrown blackware pottery vessels with highly burnished surfaces and incised decorations. Each vessel has a round but stable base, a spherical body with a sloped shoulder, and a thick handle, with the smaller vessel bearing a rounded spout with a slanted lip, and the two larger vessels with projecting cylindrical spouts with rounded lips. The exterior of each body displays registers of lightly incised zigzagging motifs that stretch from just above the base to just below the spout. Size of largest: 9.4" W x 12.75" H (23.9 cm x 32.4 cm); 14.75" H (37.5 cm) on included custom stand.
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 are 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 these examples.
For a stylistically similar example of the smaller vessel, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 62.114.2; for an example similar to the larger vessels, see accession number 62.153.
