- Lot Description
Central Asia, modern day Southern Iran / Gulf Region, Bactrian, ca. 2600 to 2250 BCE. A gorgeous pair of bowls, each hand-carved from grey-teal chlorite schist and adorned with beautiful, meticulously incised motifs. The largest presents a flat, circular base and impressively thin walls that cave gently inwards and then outwards to an elegantly flared rim. The exterior of the ancient vessel is carefully carved with three horizontal rings around its rim, followed by a pair of undulating bands that flank a repeated pattern of petite squares, creating a wonderful textured surface along the walls of the bowl. Alternatively, the smaller vessel displays a flat, circular base and straight walls that rise to an annular rim over a deep basin. The surface of the beautiful bowl features an elaborate decoration of three contiguous, abstract renderings of stylized palm fronds. Both of these vessels are considered to be of the "Intercultural Style" (ca. 2600 to 2250 BCE), which is characterized by decoration of the exterior walls with abstract patterns or stylized vegetal and architectural motifs, or naturalistic representations of animals, humans, or composite fantasy creatures. Size of largest: 4.25" in diameter x 2" H (10.8 cm x 5.1 cm)
Provenance: private California, USA collection; ex-private London collection, United Kingdom, early 1990s
