Lot 1
Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A beautiful jar of a spherical form, hand-carved from white alabaster with pale brown veining throughout. The vessel has a round but stable base, a pair of integral suspension lugs with vertically drilled string holes, a sloped shoulder that narrows to a corseted neck, and a flared rim surrounding the gaping mouth. The walls of the jar have been carved to a thinness that allows a small amount of light through to the opposite side while illuminating the natural veining within the stone matrix. The exterior surfaces of the vessel exhibit a polished texture as well as smooth patina that give this vessel an attractive presentation evocative of ancient Egyptian splendor. Size: 7.3" W x 6.875" H (18.5 cm x 17.5 cm)
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
