Item Details
Description
Central Asia, Bactrian, ca. 2500 to 2250 BCE. Skillfully carved from grey-blue chlorite schist, this is an ornately incised vessel of a cylindrical form extensively embellished with repeating bands of strutting lions in high relief. Size: 4.5" W x 2.75" H (11.4 cm x 7 cm)

Polished stone vessels are common grave goods from this time period, and they often were left in the tomb with a food offering. Vessels with more elaborate decorative/iconographic programs like this example may have contained prized possessions or luxury products.

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010

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.
