拍品描述
Amlash (present-day Northwestern Iran). Of red-polished ware and skillfully modeled, the body, of ellipsoid shape, supported on three small conical feet and rising to a slightly waisted neck with an everted rim. A curved handle is attached to one side, while the opposite end extends into a long spout, shaped as a stylized ram head, with applied dots for eyes and curling horns.Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. According to the Myers ledger acquired in Tel Aviv on 22 March 1973 and in the collection for 53 years.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear and inherent firing irregularities, including some fissures. Distinct traces of weathering and erosion. Expected signs of usage. Some visible chips to the upper rim. Few minute nicks and shallow surface scratches. The ceramic surface with some areas of soil encrustation, indicating a prolonged period of burial.Weight: 1,111 gDimensions: Length 29.7 cmAnimal-shaped pottery vessels such as the present lot began to be produced during the Late Bronze Age (1700-1200?BC) in the region of northwestern Iran known as Amlash, and their characteristic forms were fully developed throughout the first millennium BC. The site comprised stone-and-clay tombs carved into a high rocky spur. Among the most distinctive examples are spouted vases representing zebus, humped cattle highly valued by pastoral communities in the area. These vessels were designed to hold liquids and appear to have served a ritual function in funerary practices.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related ram-shaped ceramic vessel, Northwestern Iran, Parthian culture, c. 1st century BC to 2nd century AD, 22.5 cm long, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 65.5.3.
