| A beautifully crafted bronze vase, being hammered rather than cast. The vase is formed in the style of an amphora, with an elongated cylindrical body rising over a button base, and a concave neck above a ledge, approximately two thirds of the way up the body. The neck then flares gently outward to form the rim. The piece is 8" in height, and is in remarkably intact condition, with a small 3/4" tear on the back side. Dates to Ca. 1000 B.C., West Iran, Luristan culture. Reference: "Art of Ancient Iran", by Mahboubian. | ||
