AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Attention: due to customs regulations we can only ship inside the European Union. Please ensure you have a valid EU shipping address before placing a bid.
Ancient Sasanian bronze vessel with ribbed decoration on the upper body. Very rare in this excellent condition and quality.
The form is well-balanced and typical of Sasanian metalwork, reflecting both functional design and refined craftsmanship. Vessels of this type were used in daily life for the storage or serving of liquids.
Overall, an attractive and well-preserved example of early Persian metalwork.
Height: ± 14 cm
Diameter top: ± 8 cm
Good solid condition, excellent glossy and outstanding patina, small pressure crack on the bottom (see image). The surface presents a rich, naturally developed patina and signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Certificate of Authenticity available upon request (pdf-format).
-> The Sassanid Dynasty was founded by Ardashir I in 244 AD and was the start of a golden age of Persian culture. They used political and economic diplomacy to establish international trade and commerce with the Romans and Byzantines to the west, and the Chinese to the east.
Persian culture influenced the European and Asian medieval art and was the basis for much of the later Islamic culture.
