Item Details
Description
Near East, Early Islamic, possibly Nishapur, ca. 800 CE. This is a large jug with a handle and swirling, geometric black on white artwork. Brilliant blue shell fragments embedded in the handle, as well as carved details. A jug of this size would most likely have been used for carrying water. Nishapur was located along the Silk Road and had a cosmopolitan character at this time period; the new Islamic religion and its corresponding artwork met Mediterranean and Chinese styles. Size: 17"H and 14" at its widest point.

Provenance: Ex-private Southern California collection acquired in the 1990's.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
