View translationIron Age Bronze Vessel
No. 92759465
A finely cast Luristan bronze vessel, featuring a slightly cylindrical body with a rounded base and a short cylindrical neck that leads to a wide, everted rim. The body of the jar is subtly decorated with a narrow concave band. The vessel sits on a slightly raised, flat circular base. An attractive blue and green patination and earthly encrustations to the surface. Signs of wear as consistent with its age, such as some warping, chipping, and scratches. The rim of the vessel is bent in places and there is a short scratch near the base.
Luristan bronze comes from the province of Lorestan, renowned in antiquity for its sophisticated metal working techniques. Due to the nomadic nature of the populations that settled in the area, none of the Luristan bronzes were of great size, since it was required for them to be light and portable. Excavated items most often included weapons, tools, vessels and finials, but ornamental pieces such as amulets, fittings and jewellery such as pins or bracelets also feature in the material record. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Luristan bronze objects often served ceremonial functions given their funerary contexts, and there are recurring artistic motifs of flora and fauna and the human relationship to each throughout their work.
Measurements: (circa) W 10.3cm x H 9.1cm
Provenance: Ex. London collection, acquired 1990s-present.

To tani zegarek, podróbka a nie oryginał, wartość tego zegarka to max 30 euro! Sprzedawca bardzo szybko wysłał, ale nawet pudełko to zwykła chińszczyzna. Nie można handlować tak słabym towarem.
