This object qualifies for free USA shipping and a flat rate fee of $75 if shipping internationally.
A finely potted Levantine terracotta vessel standing on a small disk foot with a rounded globular body tapering to a short neck and broad everted rim. The buff-colored surface is decorated with horizontal bands in orange slip, with the same orange coloration appearing on the interior and lower foot.
The vessel’s balanced proportions and restrained painted decoration are characteristic of domestic and storage wares produced throughout the Levant during the Middle Bronze Age. The form relates to ceramic traditions known from sites in Syria-Palestine and the eastern Mediterranean during the early second millennium BCE, where banded decoration in red or orange paint over a light slip was widely employed on utilitarian and table vessels.
