Item Details
Description
BYZANTINE PERIOD:  9th - 14th CENTURY A.D..  Eastern Europe.  This is a very unusual and scarce bronze artifact from the Ottoman Empire during the Byzantine Period.  On occasion, one can find splendid bronze vessels from this era but other bronze art / ceremonial items are highly unusual.  The loss of what was once a silvered inner surface and the progressed bronze encrustations and patina demonstrate that this piece pre-dates the later antique or medieval period.  As a strainer ladle, it is probable that such an opulent object as this was used in the service of feasts or ceremonial / religious dining.  11.4" (29 cm) long.

Provenance: Ex-private East Coast, USA collection

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.
