Description
Cyprus, Levant Iron Age II, ca. 900 BCE. An impressive and large Cypriot amphora of an elegant form starting from the ring foot, to the globular body with attached twin loop handles, giving way to a narrower cylindrical neck with an everted opening, featuring a gorgeous, hand-painted decorative program comprised of black and russet red-brown linear bands and concentric circular motifs against a buff surface. Cyprus, situated roughly 60 miles (100 km) by sea from the coast of Syria, was well-situated to export their goods throughout the Mediterranean and Near East; pottery like this was created with the export market in mind. A wonderful example from the Cypriot Iron Age. Size: 8.5" W x 11.375" H (21.6 cm x 28.9 cm)
