Item Details
Description
Late Period Ca. 664-332 BC A beautiful jar of a slender, cylindrical form with a flat base, tall walls, and a thick rim surrounding the deep basin. The vessel is hand-carved from alabaster with natural opaque white bands coursing throughout the stone matrix that illuminate when held next to a bright light. The interior has been gradually widened using a series of progressively finer drill bits and abrasive sand, and evidence of the original drilling striations are still visible within the interior cavity. Size: L:119mm / W:81mm ; 495.69g Provenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.
