- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, northern Jordan, Umm el-Jimal, Nabataean peoples, ca. second half of the 1st century CE. A wheel-thrown pottery cup from Umm el-Jimal, one of the oldest and most well-preserved cities of ancient Jordan. The vessel has a concave, tiered foot, an inverted bell-shaped body, a petite flared rim, and a pair of applied handles that twist between the terminals. The exterior of the body boasts an orange-red slip coloration and is covered in a thin layer of lustrous glaze. A register of densely-congregated hash marks courses across the body roughly nine times and terminates just below the handles' lower terminals. A repeating motif of dark circles are enclosed with matching ladder-form borders both above and below, imbuing the cup with a personalized presentation. A beautiful and exceedingly rare example of fine utilitarian ceramics from the ancient Near East! Size: 4.875" W x 4.5" H (12.4 cm x 11.4 cm).
The Nabataean kingdom controlled a string of oases that linked trade between southern Arabia (where many forms of incense required for religious worship were created) and the Greco-Roman world, and flourished throughout most of the 1st century CE. The Nabataean sphere of influence extended far into the Arabian Peninsula towards Yemen along the Red Sea. Its capital of Ragmu (present-day Petra) was one of the largest and most highly-frequented cosmopolitan marketplaces in the Near East, though it was only one in a string of Nabataean settlements strung out in an area with very limited resources.
