- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Northwestern Iran, Luristan, ca. 1000 to 600 BCE. A handsome ensemble of four bronze miniatures and one stone sculpture from ancient Luristan. The first bronze is a pendant figure representing a standing ibex with a long, slender body and neck, magnificent, spiraling horns, and a petite suspension loop on its back. The second piece is a four-footed pyramid made from leaded bronze, displaying five tiers, and topped with a zoomorphic head. The third bronze miniature is a stretched anthropomorphic head featuring a lengthy neck, an open mouth, a petite nose, a pair of recessed eyes, and a coiffure of four convex dots. The last bronze example is an abstract pendant consisting of two cones connected at their bases, adorned with a band of five raised spheres, and furnished with a suspension loop along its central axis. The lovely stone sculpture represents an owl head in an ovoid, hemispherical form and presenting two huge, recessed eyes with convex pupils flanking a downward-facing beak. Size (long head): 1.375" L x .625" W (3.5 cm x 1.6 cm); (Ibex): 1.875" L x 1.5" H (4.8 cm x 3.8 cm)
