Item Details
Description
Near East, Holy Land, ca. 1st millennium BCE; Greek, Hellenistic, ca. 4th to 3rd century BCE; Roman, Imperial, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A fabulous collection of pottery examples: 1 Hellenistic Greek head, 1 Roman Imperial head, and a pair of Holyland vessels. First, the heads are both mold-formed to depict females: the Roman head is crowned with a bulbous headdress, while the Greek is hooded by a veil. Alternatively, the Holy Land vessels are both of jar form with rounded shoulders, narrow necks, flared rims, and ribbon-form handles connecting neck to rim. The larger presents a broad, rounded bottom and the more petite displays a tapered, flat base. Size of largest: 4.2" W x 4" H (10.7 cm x 10.2 cm)
