- Lot Description
Central Europe, Proto-Celtic Urnfield Culture, ca. 1000 BCE. Burial cup of exquisite condition and preservation, from the Eastern European Lusatian Culture. Usually only found in museum collections in Europe, Urnfield pottery of fine condition is extremely rare! This is a fascinating specimen, not of everyday ancient life, but of ancient death and the ritual religion and burial practices of ancient European peoples of the Bronze Age into the Early Iron Age. Size: 3.5" W x 3.15" H (8.9 cm x 8 cm)
One interesting member of the greater Urnfield Culture was the Lusatian Culture of eastern Europe. In Germany, the culture is known as 'Lausitz', named for the Lusatia area of eastern Germany where sites were first described in the 1800's by German pathologist and archaeologist, Rudolf Virchow (known today as the father of modern pathology). The Lusatian Culture peoples' interred cremated remains in pots dates to a time beyond central European societies, into the Early Iron Age around 500 BCE. Lusatian Culture burials usually consist of a main urn that can range from modest sizes up to very large dimensions. In most cases, secondary ceramic vessels are included in the burial urn. The people of the Lusatian Culture were mainly farmers with domesticated animals; they supplemented their diet with hunted game. Their settlements existed in both open and fortified plans.
