**Originally Listed At $1200**
Ancient Central Asia, southern Azerbaijan and northern Iran, Ardabil region, ca. mid-3rd to 2nd millennium BCE. A sizable, wheel-thrown pottery vessel with a planar base, an apple-shaped body, and an abstract avian-form spout projecting from one side of the shoulder and rim. The smooth surfaces exhibit a rare, light beige hue that stands in contrast to the more-common black presentation. Size: 12" W x 11.75" H (30.5 cm x 29.8 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report is available to the buyer upon request.
