Anatolian Ceramic Idol, Early Bronze Age circa 2700-2400 BCE
About the Item
A interesting example of a kusura type bronze age idol. These are usually found in marble but this one is in ceramic. These idols represent a stylized female shape and represent fertility and life. Simular idols are known all over the world since neolithic times. Particular for the early anatolion culture is a distinctive violin shape.
The fluent, elegant, lines are complemented with a faded 2 tone patina accentuated by the abstract geometrical decoration.
Overall a compelling piece that has a timeless aura.
Presented on a custom black wooden base.

China Zhou Dynasty Bronze Perfume Burner
Located in Beuzevillette, FR
Bucket burns perfume in bronze resting on three feet. The body is sculpted with a band frieze with an archaic motif. Two inverted U-shaped handles punctuate the edge. This type of bronze bucket was cast with lost wax from molds in several parts and assembled when the piece was poured, these are the traces that can be seen on the back of the bucket. . The bronze has a beautiful green and dark gray excavation patina. This perfume burner was originally to have longer feet, no doubt arched, cut very long ago since the place of the cut has the same patina as the rest of the piece.
