- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Third Intermediate Period, 21st to 25th Dynasty, ca. 1070 to 664 BCE. An incredibly rare example of a sizable situla exhibiting a broad form, hand-carved from honey-yellow alabaster with subtle inclusions of light grey and dark beige. The conical situla exhibits a rounded base, a tall body with a thick rim, a deep, drilled-out basin, and a pair of discoid ears with central perforations bearing two bronze terminal caps from an original bronze handle or suspension mechanism. Situlae in ancient Egypt were typically formed from either bronze or hardwood and featured raised decorative motifs of animals or specific deities. The rarity of this vessel stems from its prodigious size as well as the artisan sculpting it from stone rather than choosing an easier material or a less time-consuming method. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 6.375" W x 11.4" H (16.2 cm x 29 cm)
