Bronze. Classical. BronzesMaat van ca. 0,65 liter met handvat.Size of approx. 0.65 liters with handle, marked and labeled presumably from Amersfoort.Reconstructed lotiform chalice. Dimensions: As reconstructed: H. 9.9 cm (3 7/8 in.); Diam. 9.3 cm (3 11/16 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 21-25. Date: ca. 1070-664 B.C..Made of faience glazed a rich turquoise, this goblet takes the shape of the fragrant blue lotus. Reconstructed from eight fragments, it would originally have stood on a slender column imitating the flower's stalk. (For a complete example, see 13.182.53.) This type of chalice, which is seen first in the New Kingdom, appears to have been used primarily as a cult vessel.Both the shape and the imagery of this chalice are closely linked with the themes of creation and rejuvenation. As the lotus blossom closes at night and opens at dawn to greet the rising sun, it became associated with the daily cycle of death and rebirth. The relief decoration is set in the marshes where the lotus bloomed, echoing the watery landscape of creation. The principal scene, repeated three times around the cup's circumference, shows a youthful king in tOnyx Bowl (Tecomate) before 16th century Mexican.

From EgyptCup with a frieze of gazelles ca. early 1st millennium B.C. Iran A number of vessels similar in form and technique to this one have been excavated in the rich burials at Marlik, a site southwest of the Caspian Sea in northern Iran; one is also known from Susa, in southwestern Iran.On the body of the cup, four gazelles, framed horizontally by guilloche bands, walk in procession to the left. Their bodies are rendered in the repoussé technique and are detailed with finely chased lines to indicate hair and musculature. The projecting heads were made separately, as were the ears and horns, and were fastened invisibly in place by a colloid hard-soldering, a process much practiced in Iran involving glue and copper salt. The hooves and eyes are indented, probably to receive inlays. Listen to experts illuminate this artwork's story Listen Play or pause #7008. Cup with a frieze of gazelles, Part 1 Play or pause #7008.
