Item Details
Description
Ancient Near East, Northwestern Iran, Amlash culture, ca. 1200 to 800 BCE. A hand-built grayware pottery pitcher with a planar base, a piriform body, a flared rim, and a slender handle used for pouring. Amlash vessels were buried in large megalithic tombs, built by part of the Marlik culture. Despite its proximity to the large Mesopotamian cultures, the geographical barrier of the high Zagros and Elburz Mountains kept it relatively isolated and a very unique ceramic tradition developed there. Size: 4.75" Diameter x 5.8" H (12.1 cm x 14.7 cm)

Provenance: Private Greenwood Village, Colorado, USA collection, via inheritance; Leota Furlong Agett Persian Pottery collection, acquired in Tehran, Iran in the early 1960s
