Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Greece, Mycenaean, Middle Helladic to Late Helladic period, 1700 to 1050 BCE. A fine wheel-thrown pot with a squat, globular body and three petite strap handles encircling the shoulder. The warm buff surface is overpainted with umber bands and triangular motifs. Excavations at the palace at Mycenae revealed an elite and long-lasting society with a great deal of wealth. This extended to the workshops of artisans who produced pottery like this vessel both for use in Greece and throughout the Mediterranean world; shiploads of similar jars went out as far as the Levant and Spain, carrying oil, wine, and other commodities. Size: 7.5" Diameter x 6.25" H (19 cm x 15.9 cm)

This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full printed and bound report will accompany purchase.
