Marble spouted bowl
On loan to The Met
This work of art is currently on loan to the museum.Technical analysis: Ultraviolet-induced visible luminescence examination, optical microscopy
This delicate spouted hemispherical bowl with a horizontal lug handle is complete except for minor losses at the rim and spout. It is carved from very fine translucent marble. Its sides curve up and out from a small, flat base. A gently curved spout is carved at one end of the rim and the shallow horizontal lug is carved opposite it for a balanced pour. This bowl is a very fine marble example of the common Early Helladic and Early Cycladic clay sauceboat vessels used for pouring and/or drinking liquids.(1)
There are dark accretions over the exterior and interior surface.
