- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Iran, Sassanian (Sasanian, Sassanid) Empire, Post-Sassanian Period, ca. 6th to 9th century CE. A fabulous hand-built pottery jar of a substantial size with a flat base, a wide piriform body with a rounded shoulder, a tapering neck, a thick rim, and seven applied strap handles which arch between the shoulder and just beneath the rim. Applied corded strands with segmented bodies wrap around the shoulder in a flat ring as well as zigzag along the midsection, and small applied roundels are presented within the drooping rungs of the lower cord. The vessel is accentuated with a thick layer of turquoise-hued glaze, and areas of wear have formed stunning rainbow-hued iridescence. Size: 13" W x 19.375" H (33 cm x 49.2 cm).
