Description
Ancient Near East, Persia, Achaemenid Period, ca. 539 to 330 BCE. A very fine cast bronze brazier of a round, shallow form with four separately cast bird -possibly eagle- ornaments or handle finials, attached to the rim, one pair opposite the other, and round iron fittings set to the interior bowl. The vessel sits upon a three-legged iron stand. The eagle, a symbol of royalty, suggests that this was intended for an individual of elite status. Size: brazier measures 18.125" in diameter x 4.25" H (46 cm x 10.8 cm); 8.875" H (22.5 cm) on stand
