Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A stunning vessel hand-carved from alabaster and featuring a circular rim and thick walls that gradually taper to a narrow base, all sitting upon a petite, discoid foot. Gorgeous natural bands in hues of cream and honey dance across the silky-smooth surface of this elegant vessel. The interior of the jar was painstakingly carved out using a series of progressively finer drill bits and copious amounts of abrasive sand, and the exterior surface exhibits a fine polished texture. A dazzling example, positively mesmerizing, especially when held to the light! Size: 1.5" in diameter x 5.125" H (3.8 cm x 13 cm)
