AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A finely modelled Amlash terracotta vessel. The container features a globular body, with a flat base, leading to a wide cylindrical neck with a straight rim. Earthly encrustations throughout the surface, with other signs of wear such as pitting and chipping consistent with age. Signs of repair across the body and neck.
The term ‘Amlash Culture’, has generally been used to designate material cultures excavated at Gilan, an archaeological site of on the southern shore of the Caspian sea, and refers to a group of Iron Age pottery and metal executions with a strong visual character. Amlash terracotta vessels , such as this fine example, might have been inspired by paralleled metal wares of the same period, and were used in funeral libation contexts, ritual occasions and in everyday life.
Measurements: W 9.7cm x H 12cm
Provenance: Ex. specialist Near Eastern pottery collection, London, 1990s.
