Ancient Egypt. An amazing fragment of a limestone relief depicting an offering scene, dominated by ceremonial vessels arranged on a stand. The composition, executed with firm, schematic incised lines, follows the conventions of Egyptian funerary art of the Middle Kingdom.
Dimensions: 36 x 44 x 3 cm / 39 cm high with support.
Acquired from a French private collection, D.E., in 1970.
-The piece includes a certificate of authenticity as well as Spanish export documentation (European Union Passport).
IMPORTANT: Due to new laws governing the export of archaeological pieces, we have decided to NO LONGER sell outside the European territory to the following countries: SWITZERLAND & the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
For other destinations outside European territory: all our items will be shipped after obtaining a definitive EXPORT LICENSE from the Ministry of Culture of Spain. We inform our clients that this may take between
4-8 weeks. Under Spanish legislation, items sent outside the European Union are subject to export taxes. The taxes will be added to the invoice, at the buyer's expense. These export fees are calculated on the final auction price. The tax rate is not applied directly to the total value of the item being exported; instead, the different percentages are applied to the corresponding price brackets:
Up to 6,000 euros: 5%. / From 6,001 to 60,000 euros: 10%.
Please note that for distant destinations (Asia, the Middle East, etc.), there will be an additional shipping cost.
