Miniature Ancient Bactrian Schist Jar - Incised Motifs

Item Details

Description

Ancient Central Asia, Bactrian, ca. 2500 to 2250 BCE. A lovely jar of a miniature form, hand-carved from forest-green schist with dark grey inclusions. The piriform body rests upon a petite base, has four lug handles spaced evenly around the shoulder, and boasts a flared rim which perhaps held a lid at one time. The shoulder is decorated with an incised register of enclosed lattice-pattern motifs that imbue the vessel with an elegant, personalized presentation. Size: 1.625" W x 2" H (4.1 cm x 5.1 cm).

Provenance: private East Coast collection, New York, USA; ex-East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
