Amlash blackware jug, circa 1st millennium BC, with a rounded body and wide rim, 18.5 cm high by 10 cm wide, with a repaired neck at the base and chips and cracks to the rim, from a private collection acquired in 2000, authenticity original/official.
Description from the seller
A finely modelled Amlash blackware terracotta jug, featuring a rounded body leading to wide rim. The neck is slightly pinched in at the base and slightly expands out towards the mouth for easier pouring. The rounded body tapers down towards a flattened, circular base. Earthly encrustations, wear and scratches to the surface. The neck is repaired at the base. Chips and cracks to the rim.
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. Terracotta vessels of this type were clearly designed as pouring vessels, but they might have been used in a particular funerary ritual and ceremonial occasion.
Measurements: H 18.5cm x W 10cm
Provenance: Ex. specialist Near Eastern pottery collection, London, 1990s.
