Ancient Central Asia, Bactria, ca. 2500 to 2250 BCE.

Fine layers of brown and green patina cover the entire vessel in color. Size (w/ stopper): 3.1" W x 5.2" H (7.9 cm x 13.2 cm)

Condition

One horn is repaired, and another has a small loss. Otherwise in very nice condition with a few tiny chips and nicks. The jar has a stopper that is also in fine condition. The stopper is contemporary though it is unclear if it is original to this vessel. This said, it does fit nicely inside it. Both jar and stopper have nice patinas and deposits.
