Abstract and anthropomorphic large figure from the Pie River, located to the east of the Era River. Abstract, anthropomorphic form stands on separate legs with dynamic varying outline, wide hips, and torso leading straight to a rounded head.

This antique terracotta vessel originates from southern Anatolia, Turkey, a region known for its long-standing tradition of agricultural pottery and iron-rich clay. Hand-thrown and wood-fired, the jar was formed for everyday use, its substantial walls and broad, balanced proportions designed for strength and stability in working environments. Originally used for storing olive oil or water, the vessel features twin looped handles at the shoulder for lifting and transport. The unglazed surface has developed a deep, time-softened patina through firing, use, and age, with natural tonal variation, mineral markings, and subtle areas of wear that give the piece its rich, earthy character. The jar has been carefully and professionally converted in the UK into a table lamp, preserving its original form and weight while integrating antique bronze fittings and traditional wiring. Its rounded silhouette and grounded scale give it a sculptural presence, equally suited to larger bedside tables, consoles, or sideboards. With its warm natural tones, raw texture, and classic twin-handled form, this antique olive jar lamp...
