AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An Amlash greyware vessel, featuring a wide globular body with a flattened base. To the top, the body tapers towards a short, cylindrical neck, marked by a slightly raised ridge, and a straight rim. Earthly encrustations cover the surface. Signs of repair to the neck.
The term ‘Amlash Culture’, has generally been used to designate material cultures excavated at Gilan, an archaeological site on the south shore of the Caspian sea, and refers to a group of Iron Age pottery and metal executions with a strong visual character. Most of the Amlash pottery vessels are believed to have been stylistically and typologically inspired by bronze wares of the same period. Amalsh Iron Age pottery tradition favoured bird iconographies as their conventional repertoire.
Measurements: (circa) W 9cm x H 9.5cm
Provenance: Ex. specialist Near Eastern pottery collection, London, 1990s.
