Description

Achaemenid Period (ca. 550 - 330 BCE).

I love the sophisticated use of a stylized animal form in creating the handles on this vessel.

Horned animals were the most common motif I saw on ancient Persian ceramics.

To my untrained eye, the piece resembles an amphora because of the narrow neck and rounded bottom.

In the museum at Persepolis, Iran.
