Item Details
Description
AM II-MHIB/IIA, circa 30th-19th century B.C. Substantial carved mortar with narrow base and biconvex body; heavily chipped.

From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.

The vessel corresponds to the Warren type 28, with similar Egyptian parallels and correspondent typologies, with small differences on the edges (see Karetsou et al., 2000, nos.15a and 19a). [No Reserve]
