Item Details

Description

Greece, Hellenistic period, ca. late 4th to 2nd century BCE. An incredible example of a cast bronze phiale with a narrow rim and a round, bulbous projection in tondo. Between rim and center, the body is decorated with a repeated motif of incised triangles and deep abstract curved forms that flow down the body from just below the rim to where it flattens at its base. Incised lines form a border around these, delineating them from the smooth, flat area surrounding the bulbous center of the bowl. The patina on this piece makes it special, with a deep, smooth turquoise color on roughly two-thirds of it and a muted gold "river patina" on the other third. Size: 6.7" W x 1.45" H (17 cm x 3.7 cm)

Libation bowls, known as phiale, were used across a wide geographical area - from Greece to Tibet, throughout the ancient Near East and Central Asia. These shallow bowls for holding wine in ritual and ceremonial settings were made from many materials - glass, ceramic, and many kinds of metal. Elite members of society owned vessels made from metal, like this one. Phiale functioned both as tableware and as wealth - they could be stored in the royal treasury or given as gifts to people they were hoping to influence.

Provenance: private Davis Collection, Houston, Texas, USA; ex-Bonhams London Antiquities Auction, 8 May, 2013, lot 40; ex-the Cyrus Collection, property of Fay Safani, New York, New York, USA, inherited from Edward Safani, acquired in the 1960s.

Condition

Slight bending to form, particularly on one side, with some stable cracks in the metal on the rim where the largest bend is. Gorgeous patina, ranging from smooth dark, mottled turquoise with a few fine deposits to the muted golden color of "river patina" on one side.
