Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Unusual Egyptian Late Dynastic Banded Alabaster Bottle



Beschreibung : Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A beautiful bottle carved by hand from banded alabaster of pale coffee, caramel, and cream hues. The vessel rests on a planar base and boasts a rotund ovoid body with a sloping shoulder, a squat neck, and a petite rim. Holding the bottle close to a bright light illuminates the natural citrine hue of the stone as well as the darker banding within. Alabaster, which is a form of easily-shaped gypsum or calcite, was quarried along the length of the Nile, from Giza to just south of Luxor, and the Egyptians made its carved form famous throughout the ancient world. Size: 3.375 W x 6.55 H (8.6 cm x 16.6 cm). Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection, ex-Richard Wagner collection, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, acquired in the 1960s All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
