Amlash Burnished Grey Ware beaker: wonderful shape

170mm high.
 Intact, lovely metal-like surface. Very tiny chip in the rim.

As is frequently seen with "Amlash" pottery  there is an abstract, rather modern feel to it. Scholars have compared such objects to art  of the early 20th century (Ghirshman 1962, p. 60), in particular Picasso (Gabus 1965, p. 3; idem 1967, pl. IV).

Vessels  such as this fine example, were probably inspired by parallel metal wares of the same period.

The term ‘Amlash Culture’, has generally been used to designate material cultures excavated at and near Gilan  an archaeological site on the southern shore of the Caspian sea, and refers to a group of Iron Age pottery and metal artefacts with a strongly individualistic visual character.  The word Amlash derives from the Amlash River in Gilan.

From my own collection. Acquired in London 1989.

Circa 1200 BC  - 900 B.C.



Price: 875.00 GBP
