Stone Fragment of a Vase
View through Harvard Museums
Possibly from Uruk or Southwest Iran.Fragment with relief decoration from a large stone vase. The necks of the two ibices curve inwards and then outwards so that their heads, which face in opposite directions, are further apart than their necks. Above the heads of the ibex is a stylized leaf design which consists of leaves with very clearly defined veins. Parts of four leaves remain. Their horns curve along the same angle as the necks, and the tips of the horns reach right into the leaf design. Their ears point inwards and touch each other. The head and neck of the ibex on the right are preserved. A smaller portion of the ibex on the left is preserved: the neck (pitted), the horns, the ear, and a small part of the head. Has a wooden base.
