EARLY ISLAMIC ANCIENT BRONZE BOTTLE, CIRCA 8/9th CENTURY C.E.
20.3cm height (about 8 inches).
In Excellent, Fully Intact condition with one scratch that is visible in the photo. The jug has a wonderful patina. It appears as if one side was lightly cleaned (ancient patina fully intact) and the other side not cleaned at all. A good learning example of what authentic patinas should look like. Bottle weighs 442 grams (nearly 1 US pound) and is decorated with very attractive protruding almonds. The bottle was probably made to hold precious liquid and there is a very thin pouring neck within that opens up into an ornate cup shaped spout.
