Peter Reynaers

Bactrian Stone Bowl

Ca. 3rd millennium BC
A schist bowl features a nearly hemispherical and deep body, a flattened base, an everted rim, and smooth, polished walls devoid of decoration yet striking in their inherent beauty. Schist, a metamorphic rock renowned for its durability and attractive appearance, held great value and was utilized extensively for the production of vessels in Bactria. The usage of schist in Bactrian society was not limited to bowls but extended to a wide array of utilitarian and ceremonial objects. The availability and workability of the schist made it an ideal material for crafting vessels of various shapes and sizes, ranging from bowls and plates to cups and containers. Schist vessels served practical functions in everyday life, such as food storage, preparation, and consumption.
Size: L:55mm / W:105mm ; 245g
Provenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1990s.
