Ancient Greek, Hellenistic Bronze Bowl (No Reserve Price)
No. 93724131
A finely cast and hammered Greek, Hellenistic bronze bowl featuring a hemispherical container. The bowl sits on a flat base, from which its walls rise rendering an elegant curved profile. A finely incised line encircles the exterior of the bowl under the flattened rim. An incised dot and a concentric circle interrupt the line in one place. The surface of the vessel is covered by a beautiful lustre of green patination and earthly encrustation. Minor scratches to the surface.
The Hellenistic period spans the period of Mediterranean history between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and the emergence of the Roman Empire. It sits between Classical Greece and Roman Greece. The term ‘Hellenistic’ originated from the word Hellas (Ἑλλάς, Ellás) another recognised name for Greece. This period was characterised by a new Greek colonisation, mixing the Hellenistic culture with that of Western Asian, Northeastern African, and Southwestern Asian. Simply decorated or unadorned, handles and footless vessels of similar shape have a long tradition within the Mediterranean basin, with examples also recovered in the Near Eastern regions.
Measurements: Circa W 13.3cm x H 6cm
Provenance: Ex London Collection, formed between 1990-present.
