- Lot Description
Greece, Mycenaean Period, Late Bronze Age II, ca. 1450 to 1200 BCE. A truly beautiful and well preserved pottery spouted jar with a flaring, round foot, a deep interior, and a body that widens in diameter as it rises to its unpronounced rim. Twin horizontal loop handles project outward and low on the body. A delicate, avian spout emerges from one side, at a ninety degree angle to the handles, forming a narrow channel for pouring liquids. Concentric orange brown circles ring the interior and exterior of the vessel, with the spout and handles also painted. Size: 4.7" W x 2.1" H (11.9 cm x 5.3 cm)
This period is so named for the palace at Mycenae, famed in Homeric legend as the opulent seat of King Agamemnon - excavations there revealed an elite and long-lasting society with a great deal of wealth. This extended to the workshops of artisans who produced pottery like this jar both for use in Greece and throughout the Mediterranean world; shiploads of similar vessels went out as far as the Levant and Spain, traded far and wide. This is a wonderfully preserved example of this lost past.
