Description

A COMPOSITE STONE WINE JAR WITH HUMAN FACE, EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN / LEVANT, POSSIBLY ROMAN, CIRCA 1ST–2ND CENTURY AD

Finely carved, the biconical body supported on a gently splayed foot and rising to a waisted neck with a straight rim, fitted with a gracefully curved handle. The front of the jug carved with a human face, featuring luxuriant hair and a full beard, with a resolute expression marked by almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, and full lips. The translucent and fossiliferous stone of whitish and earthy tones, with areas of calcification and soil encrustation.

Provenance: The collection of The Zelnik István Southeast Asian Gold Museum, acquired in Paris, France, in the decade of 1990. Dr. István Zelnik, President of the Hungarian South and Southeast Asian Research Institute, is a former high-ranking Hungarian diplomat who spent several decades in Southeast Asia, building the largest known private collection of Asian art in Europe.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear, natural age-related imperfections, including an age crack encircling the lower section of the jar, possibly restored. Expected traces of weathering and erosion. Few minor nicks, light surface scratches, and a small chip to the foot. The stone surface with some areas of soil encrustation, indicating a prolonged period of burial.
