A RARE EGYPTIAN ALABASTER PERFUME BOTTLE, 1400 BC
A beautifully carved alabastron, with a slender, ovoid body, finishing in a flared lip, and two lug handles with incised detailing around the neck. This piece is made from fine-grained banded alabaster with white, cloud-like lines encircling the body, likely imported from Egypt, a well-known source for high-quality alabaster in the ancient world, coveted by artisans across the Mediterranean and beyond for its pearlescent sheen.
Vessels such as this one were used throughout antiquity to store precious perfumes and ointments, made from spices like frankincense, cinnamon, and cardamom, preserved in sweet-smelling oils.
Ancient Egypt - 1400 BC.
H: 10 5/8 in., (25 cm.)
Condition: Near perfect condition. Lug handles are worn down. See photos for reference.
