- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $1800**
Western Asia, Northern Persia, Amol, ca. 12th century CE. A magnificent terracotta royal wine jug of an impressively large scale, boasting an elegant silhouette and incised decoration of undulating, crisscross, and linear motifs along the shoulder and near the base. Enveloped in a rich hue of russet, the ancient jar displays a reverse piriform body and a rolled rim. During the 11th century, Amol was chosen as the capital of Persia and thus a bustling center for commerce and home of royals. A vessel like this may have been used for the storage and transport of lavish wines, which were likely consumed in excess during the flourishing pre-Safavid period. Size: 16.8" Diameter x 25" H (42.7 cm x 63.5 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.
