Description
Ca. 224-651 AD.
A bronze vessel with a hemispherical body and a low, concave foot, which provides stability for the vessel, but also adds to its elegant appearance. The vessel is adorned with a stylized handle that includes a finger support, which would have allowed the user to comfortably grasp the vessel. The Sasanian Empire, which existed from 224 to 651 CE, was a powerful and prosperous civilization. One of the most impressive aspects of Sasanian art and culture was their metalwork, which was characterized by intricate designs and high levels of craftsmanship.
Size: L:60mm / W:150mm ; 330g
Provenance: Acquired from a Central London Antique Shop; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1980s.
