AMLASH POTTERY JUG
Ca. 1200 - 800 BCAn Amlash hand-built creamware pottery jug of cylindrical form with a flat base, narrow neck, vertical rim, and a large animal shaped handle. Amlash vessels were buried in large megalithic tombs, built by part of the Marlik culture. Despite its proximity to the large Mesopotamian cultures, the geographical barrier of the high Zagros and Elburz Mountains kept it relatively isolated and a very unique ceramic tradition developed there.Size: 200mm x 120mm; Weight: 480gProvenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market since the 1970s.
